• High Performance Computing

  "Thanks to conventional computer hardware, HPC clusters offer maximum computing power at low investment costs and are therefore also within the means of small and medium-sized companies."
  Oliver Tennert Team Leader HPC
  Regardless of whether you initially decide on an entry, midrange or enterprise solution, the transtec HPC clusters can be extended as required and desired.
  
  From the outside, HPC clusters present themselves as a strong team. When taking a closer look, the team is divided into a master and several powerful compute nodes, all of which pursue a common goal: Provision of maximum computing power for complex tasks.
  
  The wide range of transtec HPC servers and also products in the GPU area allow a flexible configuration of master and compute nodes. Together with high-performance HPC storage from transtec, it is possible to save the results quickly and safely. Rely on our experiences in the area of high-performance computing with more than 350 HPC clusters currently installed.

• High Availability Clusters

  	"The IT phenomenon: It is most visible when it is not available."
  	Thomas Stolz Solution Architect
  Today’s business processes are supported to a high degree by means of IT. Whether in development, production or logistics, in sales and marketing, contracts processing and payroll right up to finance accounting – the dependency on this data and thereby the demands on its availability increase considerably. transtec offers to you a comprehensive solution package, which will increase the availability of your IT infrastructure:
  
  
  • The transtec high-availability cluster solutions safeguard business-critical applications. Should one of the systems fail, the cluster partner automatically takes over the tasks of the faulty system – the user does not even realise it.
  • Efficient backup concepts ensure the availability of your data. Modern technologies such as Continuous Data Protection or Snapshots with asynchronous replication reduce recovery times, thereby considerably reducing downtimes.

• Server Virtualization

  "It is no longer a matter of implementing virtualization but a matter of the point in time and the selection of the platform."
  Thomas Seidt Server Virtualization Specialist
  
  Server virtualization creates new possibilities.
  • Various operating systems and a wide variety of applications on the same physical server
  • High-availability solutions with little additional hardware expenditures
  • Independence of virtual machines from the physical hardware
  • Consolidation of hardware without the sacrifice of flexibility
  
  Virtual environment. Real benefit.
  • Actual cost saving in the areas hardware, infrastructure, administration & management, building, energy
  • Actual increase in server utilisation through more efficient use of the hardware resources
  • Actual increase in flexibility through easier management of all servers
  • Actual acquisition of safety through server separation

• Storage Virtualization

  	"Continuous increases in data volumes along with permanent availability of the data require new means for the conception of data management."
  	Jürgen Waiblinger Team Leader Storage & Virtualization Solutions
  The purpose of storage virtualization is the linking of existing divided storage systems for the central provision of all available information and data – an important step towards the breakup of IT systems with stand-alone solutions. Through virtualization of your storage environment, you will benefit from:
  
  
  • Increased data availability
  • Easier management
  • Reduced administrative overheads
  • Relief for the local network
  • More efficient backup mechanisms
  • More efficient capacity utilisation through Thin Provisioning
  • Easier scaling options
  • Quicker data access
  
  The wide range of systems, which are manufactured by transtec AG, enables us to offer you a complete solution for your storage infrastructure from a single source.

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.
