TravelgateX

Travel integrator increases availability and control with Global Server Load Balancing

Travelgate X is a rapidly growing API Web Service aggregator for the travel industry.

Their core product is a single standardized API that allows any travel service to access over 600 unique providers including hotels, airlines, car rental companies, ferries and rail services, to name a few. Previously, a travel agency or website would have to integrate with each supplier’s API independently in order to view or offer their product or service. Today, one connection to Travelgate X provides instant access to a world of travel opportunities enabling rapid integration and faster time-to-market.

Challenge

Multi-Cloud Infrastructure

TravelgateX relies on Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and multiple data centers hosting dedicated server infrastructure.

High Availability

Any provider or data center can experience downtime or require planned maintenance, potentially resulting in lost bookings.

Uneven Server Capacity

Cloud and dedicated servers have different hardware specifications and traffic capacity, requiring granular control over traffic distribution.

Solution

Total Uptime provides TravelgateX with high availability and Layer 7 cloud load balancing using application-specific hardware and hardware-based SSL acceleration.

Precision Traffic Distribution

Precision weighting and per-port, per-server thresholds allow TravelgateX to control exactly how many client connections are sent to each server.

Automated Monitoring & Failover

Servers can be automatically removed from active load balancing within seconds when traffic exceeds their configured capacity or when maintenance is required.

Anycast Cloud VIPs

Anycast-based cloud Virtual IP addresses route requests to the nearest Point of Presence, helping minimize latency between end users and API endpoints.
