Experience Case Studies
Pangea has delivered results for over 70 corporations, health care providers, education institutions, government organizations and industry groups.

Pangea founder Michael Tharenos has designed several significant networks for the industry. His credits include designing the world's most highly visible network - the network for Interop, the world's most prestigious network show. His network design has proven its robustness, as it has been maintained virtually unchanged for nearly a decade. In addition, he has designed networks for Comdex and the Internet Engineering Task Force (Corporation for National Research Initiatives). Finally, he developed the very first web server and infrastructure to support the initial IBM corporation web site at www.ibm.com.

Project NotesMultiGen develops and markets the leading realtime 3D authoring software on the Silicon Graphics platform used to create, edit and view interactive scenes for simulation, entertainment and CAD visualization applications. After outgrowing a stately old victorian house in San Jose California, MultiGen initiated a fast-track move plan which involved the relocation of 100 employees to a new office building. The move was planned over a 4 month period and executed over one weekend. The computing environment includes high-end Silicon Graphics workstations and servers and a TCP/IP network. The new facility included an industry standard Category 5 cabling system and a computer room to house the servers and network equipment. Additional services awaiting the engineers at the new facility included a high-speed connection to the Internet with a secure Firewall gateway system.

Project LocationSunnyvale, California
Project NotesThe Electronic Design Group of Mitsubishi provides sales, marketing, and robotic distribution of semiconductor chips. The transition from remote Mainframe based information systems to a local client-server system based on SAP and HP 9000 computers required the design of a new network and computer room. The existing bridged Token Ring environment with DS1 leased line circuits was replaced by an Ethernet network with fault-tolerant FDDI backbone and Frame Relay based WAN. A new computer room to house 16 HP 9000/K Class Computers and 20 Compaq Proliant 4000Ős and a Computer/Network Operations Center was designed and built in less than 3 months to meet a fast track implementation timeline. Over 275 networked computers were migrated from the SNA based Token Ring to a TCP/IP based Windows NT and Unix environment. Post installation support and training was provided during the hiring phase of the project to establish a local IT department.
