In order to cater for an increased demand in web traffic, TV3 went to market to select a managed hosting partner that could cope with sudden demand and large bursts of traffic.  Following an in-depth analysis of market offerings, SunGard’s cloud-based Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) multi-tenancy solution was chosen as the platform to host the www.tv3.ie site on. 

In recent times, SunGard’s cloud has proven to be a stable platform with a notable traffic increase during prime time shows such as The X Factor and The Apprentice, including the sole portal for The X Factor votes from the Irish republic.
