Downtime not an option 
The HP StorageWorks XP12000 disk array provides a 
long-term solution for CFR’s storage vision, according 
to Chinde, who says: “The HP StorageWorks XP12000 
provides a huge amount of data storage for our 
systems and the same performance to access the data 
no matter the number of users and systems. Delivering 
always-on availability and enabling large-scale 
consolidation, the XP12000 is ideal for our large 
Oracle data warehouse and online transaction-
processing environment. The applications running on 
Integrity servers connected to the XP12000 disk are 
close to the mission-critical applications, and downtime 
is not an option for us. Complete redundancy 
throughout the architecture provides no single-point-of­
failure, and non-disruptive online upgrades enable that 
data to be always available, so we are using the XP 
system for the online backups.” 
HP StorageWorks MSL6030 tape libraries store 
information on ticketing and reservations – serving as 
another layer of protection for the online data that 
resides on the XP. CFR uses HP Data Protector software 
for easy back up the data. At CFR Calatori’s request, 
each Integrity server manages ticketing one day of the 
month.  The solution HP implemented uses a backup 
system at only one location. However, multiple 
hardware platforms integrate with this backup 
framework and it supports cross-platform disk and tape 
backups. 
“Our HP storage solution, which includes HP storage 
media, is an integral part of our reservation system. It 
also provides backup in case of emergency, so we 
know we can access any reservation at any time.”

Railway IT group collaborates with HP 
Intrarom provides general project integration and is 
directly responsible for managing the roll out of the 
ticketing system software developed by the Railway’s 
own IT group, Informatica Feroviară. The project began 
in the spring of 2005 after HP, Informatica Feroviară, 
Intrarom, and SNTFC CFR Calatori SA worked 
together to finalize a feasibility study, obtain 
governmental approval, and define the setup. 
Electronic ticketing went live in 2005 at some stations 
over an optical-fiber network owned by CFR.  For the 
ticketing system, the optical network serves as the 
backbone of the communication support. 
The project, scheduled for completion at the end of 
2007, today includes the following: 
• 201 distinct, functioning sites (railway stations and 
CFR travel agencies) 
• More than 600 workstations, 430 of them for selling 
tickets 
• More than 50,000 seat reservations per day 
• 76 percent of tickets issued by the electronic system 
“The ticketing and reservation system is flexible – just 
like our Integrity servers,” says Chinde. “And we 
believe that in the future we’ll be able to input any 
necessary changes or adaptations. The hardware and 
software architecture of the ticketing system uses open 
platforms, and is designed to accommodate further 
improvements and developments.”
