allhomes.com.au

allhomes.com.au is the most popular real estate web portal in Australia's capital region. Since being launched in 2000 it had grown to service around 40,000 unique site customers and 1.4 million page views each day by 2006. To support the expansion of allhomes.com.au the decision was made by All Homes Pty Ltd to have the entire technology platform re-engineered from the ground up. Agile were engaged to undertake this redevelopment in 2006. The development project was managed over 13 months and culminated in December 2007. This was a significant undertaking, constituting development of several public and subscription-access web portals that comprise the allhomes.com.au and allclassifieds.com.au platforms.

The system user interface already consisted of many hundreds of dynamic screens and an array of advanced back-end functional systems (e.g., geospatial, structured data feeds, workflows, reporting, etc.). All Homes Pty Ltd demanded a contemporary solution that would provide in excess of 99.99% uptime whilst being cost effective to maintain with enterprise class scalability. This demanded a world-class systems development that included two independent data centers, replicating/distributed database servers and filesystems, and a mesh of hardware devices in redundant fail-over configurations.
