Scalability and Security
Up, fast and Accurate
That sums up our guiding principles when it comes to our platform. Unless those three words describe your online solution, it probably does not have much value for your lodging company.
Therefore we have taken specific steps to ensure:
- High Availability & Disaster Proofing
- Tight Security
- Real Scalability
High Availability & Disaster Proofing - S#@t happens
A top priority for any e-business is to make sure their services are available for customers and partners as close to 100% of the time as possible. Sudden outages and errors are very detrimental to both your revenue and your reputation.
The key is redundant systems where more than one server handles your solution at any given time. That's what you get with Bookt, regardless of which type of package you chose. Rather than hosting the servers in our office, all our servers are in a category 5 proofed data center with multiple connections to the internet backbone and backup power sources.
Tight Security – Sleep well
Without a secure system, none of our clients would trust us to store their customers’ credit card data and other sensitive information.
Specific tools include:
- Effective firewalls and network routing
- Updated virus protection
- Secure transfer of data (SSL)
- Encrypted storage of sensitive data (like credit card numbers)
- Limited and audited access to sensitive data
The seal above verifies PCI compliance for Bookt's network infrastructure. PCI (Payment Card Industry) is an industry organization furthering credit card transaction security. Part of the certification involves regular scanning of our network infrastructure for security vulnerabilities.


Real Scalability - You'll need it
A scalable system is a system that can continue to grow as demands on it increase. Again, scalability was a key consideration for Bookt from day one. We run a virtualized data center environment where we can easily add additional hardware resources as the total platform utilization grows.
We also do extensive monitoring and logging to detect potential bottlenecks and problem components early on before they become critical.
But it doesn't end here. We also offer complete transparency – how well do we really perform on these goals?
