Tecnica is pleased to announce the recent deployment of a SANsymphony-V solution for The Scottish Agricultural College (SAC) in Edinburgh. As a leading Scottish IT Solution Company we have years of experience providing IT solutions for the Public and Private sector and were therefore delighted to be given the opportunity to provide SAC with the perfect solution for their requirements.
Tecnica recommended and configured the next generation of DataCore’s software, SANsymphony-V across 3 nodes; one within SAC’s main Edinburgh campus and the other two some 8 miles away within the College’s Research and Data Centre campus.
