The seismic/seismology workgroup at the Freie Universität Berlin researches into the Earth's interior with the help of artificial and natural seismic waves. For this purpose, it developed a 3D imaging and modelling process which it applies in geotechnological and geodynamic projects on different depth scales. Two examples from the field of geotechnology: with the help of this process, a prediction range of up to 100 metres is possible during the build of the new Gotthard Basis Tunnel. Reservoirs up to five kilometres underground can be imaged and characterised. This is important when extracting petroleum and natural gas or for underground CO2 storage. By applying the process to geodynamic problems, the scientists want to improve research into the origin of large earthquakes. The Californian San-Andreas fault can thus be researched at a depth of ten kilometres and the Ocean plate under the South American Andes up to 100 kilometres. |
For a long time, the institute had to rely on reserving the necessary computing time and storage capacity either on the University's large mainframe computers or on the Beowulf cluster built by the institute. In the Spring of 2008, transtec installed a cluster with 13 Dual-Quad-core computing nodes and five Terabyte storage capacity. The plan is to expand this to 36 nodes by the start of 2009. With a total of 288 GB RAM, all the workgroup's calculations and simulations should be executed. In addition, 22 Linux workstations are in operation at the institute. |
"Our institute needs a reliable system with excellent computing power and a lot of storage capacity. We were impressed by transtec's expertise and the reliability of the hardware." "We were also extremely satisfied with transtec's consultation. In principle, we knew precisely what we needed in advance; but there was still room for optimisation. transtec recommended a 10 GB connection from the storage node to the switch which speeds up the data package transfer rate tenfold compared to a standard connection of just one Gigabit. We weren't sure if this was economically feasible. Thanks to the excellent advice we received from transtec, there was no danger of bottlenecking data transfer at this point. Dr. Stefan Buske, head of the seismic data laboratory at the Institute for Geological Sciences at the Freie Universität Berlin |

| GIATA, die Gesellschaft zur Entwicklung und Vermarktung interaktiver Tourismusanwendungen mbH in Berlin, supports renowned tour operators such as TUI, Thomas Cook or Expedia in preparing their travel data for the Internet. The service-provider manages an extensive graphic data base of travel destinations visited by its customers, for example. The storage resources of this graphic archive had finally reached their limits. For this reason and following consulting by transtec, GIATA opted to implement a new and more modern server solution. | The new network storage for graphic data for GIATA comprises several CALLEO 100 servers with PROVIGO 510 RAIDs. Both components are extremely reliable in operation as well as being very feasible thanks to their low maintenance demands. Accordingly, GIATA customers can access their data at all times as well as benefiting from the low risk of system failure. |
“At transtec, we were particularly convinced of the quality as well as competent advice and uncomplicated service provided. We outlined our demands to the responsible Sales Manager who then developed a tailor-made offer following extensive consulting. Thanks to modern server technology, our services are now distinguished by improved availability and our customers benefit from the higher data transfer rates.”

The Swiss Internet service-provider Genotec AG was established in 2001. The company currently employs 22 people and supports more than 17,700 shared hosting customers and around 300 server customers in its own PC centres in Allschwil and Basle. According to Netcraft, Genotec is one of the top ten providers in Switzerland and is even among the top three providers in the Windows environment. What’s more, it also boasts the quality mark of Swiss Quality Hosting. A growing customer base is accompanied by a steady increase in requirements as regards customised servers and PCs. Genotec therefore requires new servers on a regular basis which are specially tailored to the requirements of individual customers. Major hardware manufacturers were unable to comply with these needs in practice. |
transtec supplied tailored consulting and more than 180 individually-configured servers and PCs based on a built-to-order principle to the value of more than 180,000 Euros. CALLEO range 101 and 301 servers as well as SENYO PCs were deployed enabling Genotec’s requirements for dedicated systems and shared hosting to be implemented in an optimum manner. |
"I am convinced that a small or medium-sized company is best looked after by an equally medium-sized company."
"The control centre is of particular importance for us as our customers are also often technical experts whose feedback we continually incorporate in our developments. It is therefore imperative to have a hardware partner who is capable of reacting swiftly and with technical expertise to our requirements." "The configurations made possible by transtec leave nothing to be desired. The good engineering is particularly tangible and the selection of components is always exactly right." Simon Jenny, Managing Director and co-founder of Genotec. |

The trade fair centre in Stuttgart (LMS) opened its doors in October 2007. The move from the Stuttgart Killesberg to the Filder region doubled the centre’s exhibition area from 54,500 square metres to 100,000 – and provided the opportunity to create one of the most modern trade fair centre’s in Europe with a perfect infrastructure.
The LMS was looking for a compact PC with all the features of a desktop computer in modern outfit to equip 300 computer workplaces in the administration, customer relations and press divisions. |
A standard design of all the PC workstations was important to LMS and it opted for the mini PC SENYO 600X including 19’’ displays, slimline keyboards and optical mice from transtec AG, who also provided an individual design of the computer chassis. The features at a glance:
|
“We wanted a workplace solution whose look and feel were in keeping with the modern design of our trade fair centre. At the same time, the PCs needed to be state-of-the-art. transtec managed to convince us with the SENYO 600.
The company offered the mini PCs with a configuration suited to our individual needs and changed the computers to incorporate our own customised branding. transtec thus contributed enormously to the modern and innovative impression of the new trade fair centre and also gained bonus points being a local supplier: thanks to the close proximity, support and spare parts are available extremely quickly.”

Costumer opinion |
|
| SHS, a leading European provider of IT customer management solutions, utilised various types of servers for local storage of the databases assigned to customer projects. The diversity of the servers in use made monitoring network resources difficult, with the consequence that there were frequent problems due to storage quotas being exceeded. |
To cope with the complexity of SHS’s projects, as many network resources as possible should be centrally administratable and, in addition, highly scalable network storage is required.
Two transtec 1002 servers in conjunction with a transtec 6100 Premium RAID System provided a readily scalable, high-capacity storage system with excellent central administration capabilities. |
“In choosing transtec we selected a partner that enjoys our full confidence. transtec’s price/performance ratio was unbeatable – a system with comparable performance from another manufacturer would have cost both us and our customers considerably more. Also decisive were transtec’s good support and knowledgeable consultation which had also proved their worth in previous projects”.

Topcon relies on ttec hardware to aid in the production of precision instrumentation
Capelle a/d Ijssel / Nijmegen, 13 May 2005.
At a first glance it would seem that surveyors, interior designers and ophthalmologists have nothing in common. But in fact they do: they rely on accurate measurements and therefore quite possibly employ instruments made by Topcon, a renown international producer and distributor of optical and electronic instruments used in medicine and civil engineering. Its European headquarters in the Netherlands has relied on products and solutions from ttec, transtec’s Dutch subsidiary, since 1997.
