| TetraTec Instruments develops flexible measurement systems for measuring the pressure, flow and temperature of gases. The SMB from Steinenbronn in the South West of Germany provides services in the field of calibration in its own laboratory as well as externally and employs 22 workers. The aim of the IT restructure was to increase server stability and service reliability as well as providing new resources for test environments faster. The implementation of a central and convenient system management concept cuts running costs. |
TetraTec opted for a virtualisation solution from transtec. Following intensive consultation meetings with transtec, a VMware active/passive system with a redundant, external iSCSI SAN storage system was installed at TetraTec Instruments. With the „boot-from-SAN“ concept, the servers boot the operating system by iSCSI host bus adapter directly from the central storage system. The total costs of ownership could be reduced by configuring the VMware Servers without hard drives and RAID controller. To increase availability, a second VMware ESX virtualisation server was installed. In the event of a hardware problem on the main server, this second server can manually start the ESX installation via the „boot-from-SAN“ in no time. |
“To fully utilise the benefits of virtualisation, system administrators must have specific understanding. transtec convinced us of their expertise especially due to the consultation and services they provided. There is always a contact person ready to deal with any problems. Due to the successful collaboration with transtec, TetraTec has already purchased more workstation PCs from transtec and we will work with transtec again in the future.“ Ullrich von Bassewitz, software engineer and IT manager at TetraTec. |

| The ISG Sanitär-Handelsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG was founded as a syndicate of sanitary wholesalers in 1956 and has continued to grow since then. The HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) market association provides a synergy platform for all its partners to enable better purchasing conditions, wider selling markets and thus a stronger competitive position for every single member. Since 2006, the ISG also provides the central processing service with EDI clearing centre for other purchasing associations. |
The virtualisation solution from transtec replaces all the 35 previously used servers. Considerably less hardware not only means less administration and maintenance but also the total energy costs have been drastically reduced. What‘s more, virtualisation units can be utilised far more effi ciently as CPU performance is only provided where it is really needed. A total of three transtec CCV-V55002U virtualisation servers are connected with one transtec virtualisation storage bundle CCSVRISCSI with redundant iSCSI. Another four physical server cores complete the IT infrastructure solution. |
"Even during the planning stage, the excellent impression we gained of transtec during a road show was confi rmed. The transtec solution met all our requirements and we were fully satisfi ed. transtec made it clear that we should contact them if we had any questions about the offer. And they proved true to their word. We didn’t receive any calls inquiring how far we were with our decision. The company gave us time to come to a decision. A quality which seems to have gone astray with some of the competition from whom we received unnecessary and annoying follow-up calls." Marco Hesse, IT and data services |

| The Merz company was founded in 1900 by Mr. Carl Merz in Hechingen, located in the North-West of Germany. It initially started life as a mechanical workshop offering services and repairs for SINGER sewing machines and bicycles. Shortly after the foundation Merz started building circular loop wheel machines.After the Second World War Merz started to produce double-cylinder circular knitting machines for the production of socks. The very first Merz double-cylinder circular knitting machine was delivered in 1948. At the beginning of the fifties a circular knitting machine for the production of nylon stockings was developed. At the beginning of the sixties the company moved to the Haigerlocher Straße, Hechingen, Germany which today still is the company‘ s site. From 1970, the company increasingly specialized in the development and manufacturing of circular knitting machines for the production of medical stockings and compression articles and with 75 employees is today the leader in this market segment worldwide. |
In advance of planning, transtec carried out a comprehensive analysis of its existing IT environment and developed strategies for a future-oriented IT infrastructure. transtec was committed to designing an IT system that combined easy management with the required functions and thus developed the following concept:
|
"The virtual server environment allows test systems to be installed in a matter of no time without any difficulty as sufficient system performance and storage capacity are available. We would be pleased to work with transtec again in the future as the system specifications and deadlines promised were always kept." IT manager Reiner Spiegel at Merz |

| 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. | 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. |
"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."
"Whoever wants to be ahead of the highly competitive health and rehabilitation sector has to have the latest technical upgrades to ensure patients the comfort they need and to optimise work processes in hospitals. A fast, effective and inexpensive implementation was possible thanks to reliable partners such as transtec." Dr. Johannes Wessels, Adviser to the Balzerborn hospitals |
