ShopeCentre: Total Performance Management by Interxion
Interxion, Europe’s leading operator of Internet Exchange Centers™ (IECs), has announced ShopeCentre as the latest customer to take advantage of its unique Total Performance Management (TPM) service. Dublin-based ShopeCentre is the ecommerce enabling company that produces and operates online shopping sites for businesses such as the Trafford Centre in Manchester and Ryanair.com – one of the largest online travel shops in the world.
Providing the means for high-street retailers, Internet businesses and ISPs to achieve an online ecommerce presence means that data transfer and Internet–based activities form the basis of ShopeCentre’s daily business. Being online permanently is therefore crucial. The TPM service from Interxion will provide ShopeCentre with comprehensive 24x365 monitoring to ensure the reliable operation of their business-critical systems. This is in addition to Interxion’s IEC levels of security, uninterrupted power supply guarantee and a full-service maintenance facility, provided by its team of highly skilled engineers.
By housing its business infrastructure and applications in Interxion’s Dublin IECä, ShopeCentre benefits from a tailor-made service level agreement (SLA) with virtually unlimited scalability. In addition, the TPM portal allows it to benefit from the highest level of technical expertise plus a centralized view into their system performance. With a TPM Support Operations Center also located in Dublin, a highly qualified team of systems analysts provide diagnostic and problem remediation services to augment Interxion’s current 24X365 operations capabilities according to each customer’s requirements.
Tony Spillane, Managing Director of ShopeCentre, commented, “The key to our business is availability. Our clients rely on us to provide the 24x7 online service that they, and more importantly their customers, expect. We needed a solution that would address all of our availability, scalability and support needs. We felt that Interxion offered this, providing leading pan-European solutions combined with local facilities and support. The TPM service is an integral part of our commitment to providing the highest levels of service to our customers.”
Tom Cahill, Managing Director of Interxion Ireland, added, “Interxion’s TPM offering is an important element in its continued growth as Europe’s pre-eminent service provider. The service we provide to ShopeCentre highlights our ability to offer services that meet clients’ both current and future needs. It also further underscores our commitment to providing complete infrastructure services to the enterprise market”.
