Travelport GDS, an IT services company specialising in the airline and travel industries, announced today (20 October) that it has successfully migrated its Galileo, Apollo and airline host reservations systems from Denver to Atlanta.

The company said that over the past several years Travelport has invested some USD450m in technology refreshes to the Atlanta data centre, including a further USD60m this year in order to prepare Atlanta to run the Galileo and Apollo systems.

Travelport also said that the consolidation of its primary data centre operations in Atlanta is an example of the significant competitive advantage created as a result of the ongoing integration of the Galileo, Apollo and Worldspan GDS platforms. By managing all three systems in a state-of-the-art, unified data centre environment, Travelport said its customers will benefit from access to a powerful, reliable and responsive travel distribution and hosting platform.
