Swiss Scientists Search for Medicines Using transtec Computers

Tübingen, 02nd September 2002.
Computers from the Tuebingen IT system manufacturer transtec AG are helping in the search for new drugs at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETHZ). The Institute for Applied Biosciences and Pharmaceutical Sciences is testing whether specific substances are suitable for medicines by using to computers to perform complex simulations. To accomplish this, the scientists decided on a cluster solution from transtec, which runs using extremely powerful computers. At the same time, the IT systems are also used for teaching purposes. ETHZ pharmacy students can observe chemical processes on monitors in the Vireal Laboratory.

transtec Server for DNA Analysis
Epigenomics, the biotech company, uses five

Tuebingen, March 21, 2002.
Epigenomics AG, the Berlin-based biotech company, uses for their cancer research five transtec 5000 RAID systems from the Tuebingen-based IT systems manufacturer transtec AG. The storage capacity of the systems serves as the basis for a data-intensive process in which the scientists analyse DNA methylation to obtain information on genetic changes in the genetic code of the samples examined.
The IT system, used as a file server, is based on the Linux operating system and has a storage capacity of more than 3 TB. By virtue of the RAID solution (redundant array of independent disks), Epigenomics speeds up the analysis of DNA methylation and, what is more, secures the requisite digital data.
