Capability

The ticketing solution is hosted at one of Vialtus Solutions’ (formerly known as Pipex) state-of-the-art data centres. The data centre is heavily protected against infiltration, fire and power outage. This is an environment where access is restricted, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

All of Vialtus’s Serverbank data centres are carefully constructed with UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) and stand-by generation systems, raised floors, cable management and air conditioning to ensure a resilient location. Vialtus’s sites have a minimum of 2 diverse routes entering the data centres at either end of the facility. They have a failsafe full nightly backup procedure in place to Ticketline's data centre environment ensuring that all data is recoverable.
