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:
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.”
