The opening ceremony on May 31, 2008 marked the completion of a signifi cant and extensive project for the Swiss National Park: after a planning and building phase stretching over 6 years, the new National Park Centre in Zernez was fi nally complete. Offering enough space for up to 250 visitors, the exhibition centre required terminals to serve as information points. Numerous PCs from different providers were tested but the Mini PC developed by transtec proved most convincing. The Mini PC, SENYO 610, is one of the smallest PCs on the market. Weighing just 1.3 kilograms and measuring just 17.2 centimetres in length and 4.2 centimetres in height, it is similar in size to a CD drive. At 20 dBA, noise emission is whisper quiet. Despite its compact exterior, the SENYO 600 doesn’t lag behind other standard desktop PCs in terms of performance. The Mini PC managed to meet all the requirements of the new National Park Centre where visitors want to stay and fi nd out information without being disturbed.

The project also involved the National Park Centre integrating two transtec PROVIGO storage systems for their internal IT needs which run in a Unix environment with transtec servers. To leverage maximum availability, the data is mirrored between both systems.
„We will defi nitely work together with transtec in the future and are already planning virtualising our servers. Being a solutions provider, transtec can provide the required virtualisation know-how. I’ve been impressed by transtec and appreciate the fast and reliable support which is vital with complex projects and installations. The fi rst pilot tests should start in Spring 2010,“

explains Christoph Mühlethaler, IT manager.
