Nov. 2-09-TopHosts.com News Brief: Raleigh, NC-based Web hosting provider, Hosted Solutions announced that the Cleveland Cavaliers of the National Basketball Association will use its Stratus Trusted Cloud solution to power its official arena website, theQarena.com.
In anticipation of heavier traffic to theQarena.com site this year, the Cavalier franchise required a robust and reliable Web hosting solution. Increased traffic spikes are expected due to the introduction of a new “cutting-edge” ticket sales service with Veritix and higher attendance expectations both for Cavalier games and other planned events such as concerts.
Jeff Lillibridge, Director of Web Services of the Cleveland Cavaliers, said: “The upcoming year is sized up to be ‘XL’ in every way, including our fans’ interest in tickets to see the Cavaliers, Lake Erie Monsters, concerts, special events, and family shows.”
Average attendance for Cavalier games was 20,512 in 2008-9 and 38 sellouts were registered setting franchise records.
Rich Lee, CEO of Hosted Solutions, reiterated: “The demand for an ‘always on’ IT environment is not unique to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Any company doing business online requires the highest degree of reliability; even a short amount of downtime in this competitive economy can hurt significantly. The Cavaliers’ decision to deploy the Stratus Trusted Cloud for their arena website confirms its value for firms seeking a reliable, consistent and secure approach to ensuring that their website is up and running when they, and their customers, need it most.”
