Interactive, a systems availability provider, plans to build a new IT facility alongside its existing high-tech facility in Port Melbourne.

 

Interactive provides products and services for cloud computing, data centre operations, disaster recovery and hardware maintenance as well as managed services to more than 1,900 businesses, including BMW Australia Ltd, Austar, Bluestone, Lonely Planet and Flight Centre.

 

Interactive managing director Chris Ride said the new facility would enable Interactive to expand on its world-class cloud service delivery to local and multi-national organisations throughout the Asia-Pacific region, while sustaining employment for Victorians in the technology industry.

 

"With significant growth in recent years, this new high technology facility will allow Interactive to provide the highest quality availability services to local businesses at competitive prices," Mr Ride said.

 

Interactive currently has more than 350 employees Australia-wide.
