Val Morgan Cinema Network is Australia’s leading national supplier of screen advertising representing major exhibitors and virtually all independents. Val Morgan chose our Xen based hosting environment with failover options for their Web presence built on the TYPO3 Content Management System.
The Val Morgan story began more than a century ago in Melbourne, Australia, as the vision of entrepreneur and company founder, Mr Val Morgan. When motion pictures arrived in Australia in the early 20th Century, Val Morgan seized the opportunity to sell advertising in the then new medium.
Val Morgan work closely with our strategic partners Redgum Web for their TYPO3 based Website requirements. Redgum approached us to provide a high availability hosting environment for their TYPO3 setup with instant failover.
Val Morgan now hire two Xen Virtual Machines on two physically separate machines and run a failover service using heartbeat. The secondary virtual machine also serves as an onsite backup using tools like rdiff-backup.
Monitoring is provided by Pingdom with SMS notification on failures. Our engineers are always on standby incase of disasters.
Our hardware is supplied and guaranteed by Dell under a three hour any day parts and labour guarantee and is housed by our friends at Host Networks.
