| 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. |
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.
A high-performance, versatile transtec Linux-based SAN (Storage Area Network) solution running SuSE Enterprise Server 9 is now in employed. It consists of two transtec 1002L servers, a transtec AMD Quad Opteron Server, two QLogic SAN Connectivity Kit 3000’s, each with a SANBox 5200 Fibre Channel 8-port switch and a QLA2340 Fibre Channel host bus adapter, Overland NEO 2000 backup system and a transtec 6600 Fibre Channel RAID system. |
"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." Uwe Gathge, StAIS network and system administrator |
