Altitude Tickets Selects ePlexity and Faction’s IaaS Cloud Platform to Fuel Its High-Volume Concert Sales

Altitude Tickets, a high volume U.S. ticket sales website, has selected Managed Services Provider (MSP), ePlexity to oversee the company’s migration to a 100% cloud based solution. ePlexity standardized on Faction Cloud, a private cloud solution it white labels and re-sells as its own.

Altitude Tickets has utilized a traditional colocation environment, purchasing and managing their own equipment in a third party data center. The model required significant CAPEX reserves to address peak usage spikes and hardware refreshes.

was searching for an IT partner who could offer personal attention, seeking a boutique, consultative relationship. By selecting ePlexity as its technology partner, and migrating to a private cloud solution, the company could scale up or down as needed across a “state-of-the-art” infrastructure without incurring a CAPEX expense.

Faction’s cloud platform recently contributed to Altitude Tickets‘ extremely high volume of U.S. sales traffic for the Garth Brooks World Tour. The nine show lineup hit record-breaking sales with over 140,000 tickets sold by Altitude online in less than three hours, instantly shattering the previous Denver concert ticket sales record.

“We chose to re-sell Faction Cloud, because it is the only cloud service provider that is 100% channel centric,” said John Clendennen, CEO and Founder of ePlexity. “Their ‘no compete promise’ means I can build a business atop Faction’s cloud infrastructure and be assured I will retain my customer relationships, contracts and branding. It was great working alongside Faction on behalf of Altitude Tickets.”

As a result of ePlexity‘s successful assistance, Altitude Tickets anticipates expanding its use of cloud throughout its parent company, Kroenke Sports & Entertainment.

“Faction and ePlexity have helped us to create a hosting environment which better meets our needs in terms of both performance and cost efficiencies,” said Rick Schoenhals, VP of Information Technology, Kroenke Sports & Entertainment. “We’ve also gained the flexibility to respond to business challenges more quickly with effective solutions that can directly target our business needs.”
