Auction Hosting
Traffic to auction sites tends to exhibit different characteristics to normal websites. Spikes of traffic generated by users who are entering “last minute” bids (or who arrive at the last minute to watch) means that your auction platform is likely to exhibit greater levels of stress than, say, an e-commerce site.
Red2 offers full hosting solutions for deployments of Red2 Auction, enabling you to have peace of mind. Our auction platform (running Red2 Auction Connect, or the complete front and back-end system) can be either dedicated or part of our cloud. The Red2 Auction Cloud is a cost effective and scalable means of deploying your auction. We monitor your system, allocating servers and resources to ensure 100% uptime and highly responsive auction sites.
If you are deploying a new auction then the Red2 Auction Cloud reduces costs by using shared and partitioned infrastructure. As your auction traffic builds, your hosted environment builds with it, removing the need to capacity manage your solution.
Hosting auction solutions with Red2 enables us you to have a single maintenance and support contract, and a single point of contact. Our online ticketing system gives you 24/7 support coverage, with full visibility of fault management and issue tracking.
