Case Study: Bookt achieves zero downtime and scalable growth with Barracuda Networks' Load Balancer

Bookt Keeps Global Vacation Rental Industry in Business

Bookt, a Miami-based web services provider founded in 2008, delivers turnkey websites and marketing solutions to the global vacation rental industry and currently supports nearly 100 lodging companies with thousands of bookable units. As traffic grew rapidly (hitting 1.8 million monthly page views and rising 10–15% monthly), Bookt needed a dependable, scalable load-balancing solution to ensure zero downtime, simple virtualized management, and the ability to add servers without costly re-architecture.

By deploying the Barracuda Load Balancer, Bookt gained application-layer monitoring with automatic failover, SSL offloading, and easy scalability and deployment. The appliance simplified their virtual environment, freed server resources for application delivery, maintained continuous availability during growth, and delivered sophisticated high-availability architecture at a reasonable cost—supporting their expanding traffic and customer base.
