What did you do just a few years ago to book a hotel? In a pre-trip panic, you’d contact travel agencies or call friends for advice. Today, all that is a thing of the past: all you need is an app.
Smart device apps have revolutionized the business model of many major sectors of the economy, first and foremost tourism and the hospitality industry. Using a very simple app, we can book our stay, browse a photo gallery to see the place where we’ll be staying, and find out how other tourists or business travelers like us enjoyed their vacations.
This is the case with Touch Hotel, the app that lets you book the hotel that best suits your needs right from your smartphone.
The growth in user traffic on the mobile app—including in terms of geographic reach—required TouchHotel’s management team to make a critical decision regarding infrastructure investments.
Through careful planning and cost projections, our technical team was able to convince TouchHotel to adopt the AWS public cloud, thanks to our expertise in design, implementation, monitoring, and administration.
To address the issues mentioned above, TouchHotel—impressed by the presentation of the opportunities offered by AWS cloud computing—decided to partner with VMEngine to design, implement, and maintainan auto-scalable infrastructure on Amazon Web Services.
The solution proposed and implemented for the client ensures flexibility, security, reliability, and an excellent balance between performance and cost, thanks to the infrastructure’s scalability.
Furthermore, witha view to international expansion, it is possible to replicate the infrastructure across different AWS regions and availability zones, fostering agile and sustainable growth in other countries.
