The Company The Staff Office for Agricultural Information Systems of the Sachsen-Anhalt State Institute for Agriculture, Forestry and Horticulture, is, among other things, responsible for hardware and software support of the Agencies for Agriculture, Rural Land Consolidation and Forestry. It assists its personnel in mastering the high volume of applications for EU equalisation payments. The old system, in use since 2001, could no longer meet increased demands on storage capacity, performance and availability. |
The Solution After analysing its IT infrastructure LLFG decided that instead of expanding its old hardware, as originally planned, it would acquire a completely new solution. transtec was commisioned to deliver, configure and install the new hardware, which provides the required high performance and availability. The capacity of the system used for backups is now several terabytes. |
Customer opinion "We were quite satisfied with transtec’s SAN and storage know-how. Our technical questions were quickly relayed to a competent specialist – we didn’t have to spend minutes waiting in queue." |
The Company The Balzerborn hospitals form a highly modern rehabilitation centre for individual diagnostic procedures fitted with all the necessary equipment. Special examinations can be carried out at the nearby University Hospital in Göttingen, a partner of the hospital. For therapeutic treatment, the hospital has a wide range of rooms available for individual and group therapy. The immediate proximity of the hospital to the thermal salt-water baths and the graduation house extends the range of alternative treatments available considerably. A doctors‘ centre is also attached to the hospital divided into various subjects. This guarantees an optimum and comprehensive treatment for patients at the highest level. |
The Solution To implement the hospital‘s improvements, transtec designed a virtual server landscape under XEN with redundant CALLEO 322 high-performance servers with two multi-core CPUs and central ISCSI NAS3100L file server. transtec designed a backup concept to back up hospital data faster and more conveniently and to be available at any time in the event of any crashes. All of the above-mentioned components were integrated in a 19“ chassis with an uninterruptible power supply. The 200 hospital rooms were fitted with energy-saving TFTs as well as 30 workstations with energy-efficient transtec SENYO 610 Mini PCs for hospital personnel and doctors. |
Customer opinion "With transtec as IT specialist, we could have all the services from one source from consultation, installation to the service. transtec proved not only a competent partner but also a reliable one for all cases." |
