Company Biography

The General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre, also known as the Geomatic Department, is tasked with keeping the cadastral (ownership and land registry) records for the Republic of Turkey.

To this end, the Geomatic Department developed the TAKBIS project to maintain, update and electronically deliver this valuable information to local governments, public institutions and research organizations throughout the country.

Recording ownership and land registry records

The Challenge

The data stored within TAKBIS includes maps and photographs of roads, canals and pipelines of gas and water throughout the country. This data is considered to be of the highest value as it would be extremely expensive to regenerate. It was originally created at great expense and effort using aircraft, drones and mobile camera cars. With so much time and effort invested in collecting this information, safekeeping the digital content created is crucial.

That is why it was extremely important for the Geomatic Department to find a top-notch storage solution to cope with their growing photographic archive. The department needed a flexible, reliable and easy-to-scale storage infrastructure to maintain high-resolution images and ensure they could deliver that information rapidly when needed.

The Geomatic Department’s existing storage infrastructure was reaching maximum capacity and needed upgrading to accommodate the growing high-resolution photographic archive and ensure safekeeping of valuable cadastral information.
