Experience, Excellence and Dedication
TravTech Inc. develops and operates web-based travel applications. TravTech has targeted the Cruise industry with its flagship application suite CruiseBase which provides both front and back-office customer management functionality and provides both consumer and travel agents the ability to search and book cruises on-line.

Technology at a Glance
TravTech’s applications are fully web-enabled applications requiring no client software installed on the users’ computer. Most applications are built as 3-tier applications using Microsoft’s latest .Net development environment and run-time systems. The data tier is implemented using multiple SQL Server 2000 cluster servers that guarantee both high performance and high availability.

The middle tier is implemented as a set of .Net Web Services that provide managed access to structured data for the presentation tier or for other middle tier applications. The middle tier applications run as a load-balance set across multiple IIS-6 application servers and are written as .Net managed C# or C++ code.

The presentation tier applications are written in .Net C# and run across multiple IIS-6 web servers each running the Windows 2003 operating system. Network and application load balancing and firewall protection is provided by a dual redundant pair of Cisco load balancers and PIX firewalls
