The Company CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is one of the world’s largest and most respected centres for scientific research. The Laboratory sits astride the Franco–Swiss border near Geneva and was one of Europe’s first joint ventures when founded in 1954. It now has 20 Member States. |
The Solution More than 25 Petabytes of experiment data is accumulated each year at CERN. Over 900 of transtec's special systems for high throughput file computing and CPU-intensive data analyses support CERN by saving and analyzing this enormous volume of data and for accessing it in the international LHC Computing Grid. |
Customer opinion “Over the last 7 years, transtec has supplied us with more than 1’500 servers and 300 disk arrays. Such contracts are awarded through competitive Requests For Proposals, with bidders from CERN’s 20 Member States. Currently, we have more than 900 of those units in production, which places transtec among our data centre top five suppliers. The onsite warranty maintenance service provided by their local office fully meets our Service Level Agreement targets. We also appreciate having direct access to a team of engineering experts at the transtec headquarter in Germany.” |
The Company Since its founding in 1967, the youngest university in Baden-Württemberg has shown a remarkable upwards trend – partly continuous or in small steps, partly through striking expansion phases. At the present time, about 8300 students are distributed across the faculties of Medicine, Engineering and Informatics, Mathematics and Economics as well as Natural Sciences. |
The Solution

Customer opinion "transtec has a team of specialists in the fi eld of high performance computing, LINUX operating systems, hardware and software as well as confi guration and management. |
The Company The Department for Computational Systems Biology is one of twenty four departments in the life sciences faculty at the University of Vienna. Life sciences cover a wide array of scientific disciplines. They study all aspects of life, its development, evolution, diversity and interaction with the environment. A fundamental, systematic approach to research and development is thus of central importance to the field of life sciences. Methods however vary and range from genetics, (functional) genomes, structural analytics, physiology and ecology and integrate theory, informatics and biomathematics. |
The Solution
|
Customer opinion "All our research projects are based on enormous databases. Our scientific profile requires a solution that can guarantee a failsafe and efficient storage of all critical research data. Another important factor was permanent availability of these sensitive databases and the entire IT infrastructure. The transtec solution fulfils all these requirements with merit." |
The Company The University Hospital of Tübingen (UKT – Universitätsklinik Tübingen) has established itself as one of the leading German university medical centres. The German Science Council has certifi ed the hospital as well as the medical faculty for its excellent services in the fi elds of research, teaching and healthcare and has acknowledged the university hospital’s “pacemaker” function in Germany. |
The Solution The solution designed and implemented by transtec virtualises the customer’s fi le servers, application servers and domain controllers and fully replaces the previous heterogeneous server infrastructure comprising eleven outdated individual servers. All 330 existing clients installed with varying operating systems and diverse system architectures could be seamlessly integrated into the new infrastructure. |
Customer opinion “The most important aim was to deploy virtualisation to decisively enhance the IT performance in the radiology department and to keep new hardware costs to a minimum. The transtec solution has kept its promise and achieved all our goals” |
The Company The University of Innsbruck in Austria was founded in 1669. Today, it is proud of a total of 15 faculties and 73 institutes and is a leading force in European university rankings. The university focuses its attention to the areas of “teaching and further training” as well as “research and development”. |
The Solution A transtec CALLEO 332 Server is at the heart of the HPC cluster. Used as the master node, this system has two Quad-Core Opteron 2350 Processors each with 2.0 GHz (Barcelona) and 16 GB DDR2-667 registered ECC RAM. The connected hard drive storage comprises two SATA-2 hard drives (each with 160 GB, RAID1) and six SATA-2 hard drives each with 500 GB (RAID 5). transtec CALLEO Servers from the 500 series are used as computing nodes with high-performance AMD Opteron Processors. |
Customer opinion "After evaluating all the tenders we received, we opted for the most convincing cluster solution from transtec AG. We were impressed with every aspect of the transtec service and knew from previous experience that the transtec support and the price-performance ratio were second to none." |
The Company arvato services Switzerland is a subsidiary of arvato AG, an international media and communications service provider and part of the global Bertelsmann network. More than 30,000 employees offer their competencies and expertise to a unique international network and enable arvato services to best serve markets that orient themselves on a global scale but still retain local character. |
The Solution The transtec virtualisation solution is principally based on the existing IT landscape of arvato services; the configuration was merely subject to a structural upgrade in order to expand the infrastructure‘s computing power, RAM and storage capacity. |
Customer opinion “transtec is a competent and reliable partner who supports us in realising our ideas and the technical viability of our services. We can give the confidence and trust placed in our company back to our customers in the form of high-quality package solutions” |
The Company The patient has been at the heart of the Diakonie-Klinikum Stuttgart for over 150 years. The teaching hospital affi liated to the University of Tübingen looks back on a rich tradition of medical treatment and care of patients. Medicine students can perform the practical part of their studies under the watchful supervision of experienced doctors at the Diakonie-Klinikum. |
The Solution The transtec virtualization solution has been seamlessly integrated into the hospital‘s existing infrastructure. 46 virtual servers are currently hosting on a total of four transtec CCV-V55002U ESX servers. These advanced power virtualization servers ensure easy administration of all running processes; response times have also been cut drastically. The required storage is provided by two scalable transtec SAN4324M-B storage servers with DataCore |
Customer opinion “The transtec virtualization solution enables us to release system resources. We thus achieve maximum fl exibility as we can adapt the infrastructure to new software profi les with very few setting changes. The centralised server management considerably cuts the time previously taken for many processes. The less physical systems required, the greater the energy-saving potential.” |
