Denmark-based simulator company drives growth of around 15 percent a year with flexible solutions
Business need
FORCE Technology looked for an IT provider that could help drive growth for its simulator business worldwide. It wanted energy-efficient solutions and localized support.
Solution
The company began installing Dell Precision* workstations at the heart of its simulators, with Dell PowerEdge* servers and Dell PowerVault* storage. It also chose Dell ProSupport*.
Benefits
• Business drives around 15 percent growth a year
• Clients cut costs with energy efficient computers
• Company delivers streamlined designs with rackable solutions
• Business lowers costs with flexible services
• Organization provides responsive support worldwide
Solution areas
• End user computing
• Networking
• Storage solutions
• Support services
Seaborne trade has increased dramatically in response to rapid growth in developing countries worldwide. But the number of maritime accidents and losses at sea has declined at an equally impressive rate due to a number of factors – not least the training that crews receive before operating their vessels.
FORCE Technology, based in Denmark, plays a key role in this process, manufacturing simulators for training personnel in how to pilot ships.
Trainees using the simulators practice piloting multiple vessels from small tugboats to Navy warships. The systems can deliver a 360-degree view from a virtual bridge and recreate varying sea and weather conditions, so trainees gain experience of working in different environments. FORCE Technology, headquartered in Brøndby, Denmark, builds simulators to order, and also operates a training centre north of Copenhagen. Workstations and servers are at the heart of its products, with software delivering the images and enabling the simulations to take place. The technology is crucial, and FORCE Technology takes no chances with the IT infrastructures that support the simulation software. Michael Brinch, Business Unit Manager, Simulation, Training and Ports at FORCE Technology, says: “Power, performance and reliability are all vital.”
