The transtec Competence Center
The right know-how is decisive for the creation of high-performance, reliable IT structures. Whenever the highest performance, availability, protection of investment oder efficiency are demanded, our experts can design the right solution for and with you.You can benefit from the expertise of our specialists in the following areas:
High-performance clusters,
High-availability clusters,
Server virtualization and
Storage Area Networks.High-performance clusters
Regardless of whether you chose an entry, midrange or Enterprise solution, transtec HPC clusters can be scaled to meet any application.
"Thanks to the use of off-the-shelf hardware components, HPC clusters can offer the highest computing performance at low cost, making them attractive to budget-conscious SMBs."
Jan Heichler
HPC/HA cluster specialist
Seen from the outside HPC clusters are a powerful team that upon closer inspection consists of a master node and several high-performance compute nodes, all of which work together with only one aim: The provision of the highest computing power for complex tasks.
transtec’s broad server palette allows the flexible configuration of master- and compute nodes. You can rely on our broad experience in the area of high performance computing – at present over 250 HPC transtec cluster installations are in use.High-availability clusters
Today’s business processes rely heavily on information technology. From development, production or logistics, sales and marketing, contract handling, and bookkeeping to financial systems - companies are increasingly dependent on IT systems for storing and retrieving data and this has led to an even stronger focus on availability issues.
"The IT phenomena: It is most visible when not available."Dr. Roland Fehrenbacher
Linux Cluster solution architect
The solution: transtec high-availability cluster solutions increase availability of systems and company-critical applications. In the event a primary system fails its functionality is automatically taken over by a cluster component in a fully user-transparent manner.Server virtualization
"It is no longer a question of whether to virtualize, only when and using what platform."
Eugen Fritzler
Server virtualisation specialist
Server virtualization opens up new possibilities:- Different operating systems and applications on the same physical server.
- The same physical server for test- and operational environments.
- High-availability cluster solution residing on a physical server.
Virtual environments, real benefits:- Real cost savings in the areas of hardware, infrastructure, management, floor space and energy.
- Real increases in server utilisation through more efficient use of hardware resources.
- Real increases in flexibility through simplified server management.
Storage Area Networks
The purpose of a Storage Area Network is the consolidation of existing distributed storage systems into a central storage pool that provides access to all existing data – an important step in the direction of abolition of island IT.
"The continuous increase in data volume combined with the need for permanent availability requires new storage concepts."Jürgen Waiblinger
RAID & SAN/NAS storage specialist
The advantages of networking data on a Storage Area Network are:- Enhanced data availability
- Simplified management
- Lower management overhead
- Taking the burden of the LAN
- More efficient backups
- Simplified scalability
- Faster access to data
The right solution for every need.
- Your requirements.
Whenever and wherever the trouble-free functioning of complex solutions is required, competent consultation and professional implementation is essential, for example, for the creation of a Storage Area Network, the integration of a high-availability cluster, the virtualization of a server environment or the procurement of a high-performance computing cluster system. - Your benefits.
transtec established its in-house Competence Centre in 2002. Its fifteen specialists are dedicated to helping customers find the right solutions for their needs based on transtec hardware. - Our expertise.
These fifteen engineers are specialists in the area of high-performance and high-availability solutions, storage networks and VMware® virtualization software running under both Linux and Windows®. They are all experts in their fields and have received extensive schooling, kept up-to-date through ongoing training. - Competent partners.
To meet the exacting requirements of our customers we must ensure that our solutions perfectly match their needs. This is made possible by direct contact between customers and Competence Centre specialists. They stand ready to accompany you from initial planning to the final implementation of your system and are always ready to lend assistance after a project has been completed. - Ready-to-run solutions.
To save you time, we completely assemble all hardware at our plant, carry out a rigorous burn-in, and follow this with a comprehensive test. Finally we reassemble the modular components for delivery. All of this contributes to rapid on-site installation. - Highest performance.
The ideal configuration varies from case to case. We can help you to prepare our systems for optimal deployment. As part of the on-site commissioning process transtec experts tune the solution for best performance. - Our experience.
Satisfied customers are the best recommendation. To date, the transtec Competence Centre has undertaken over 250 HPC cluster installations and carried out 200 HA cluster- and storage projects for a wide range of applications. - Mutual success.
