"HP Serviceguard software protects our applications 
so that we can continue providing reservation and 
ticketing services. Running Linux on our Integrity 
servers gives us a stable, economical operating 
platform. Additionally, for our UNIX-based 
applications, we depend on HP-UX 11i to supply 
robust performance and scalability."

SNTFC CFR Calatori SA
Countrywide computing infrastructure supports 
electronic reservations 
Until two years ago, clerks for Romanian Railways 
wrote tickets by hand and passengers could only make 
reservations in person at the station they wanted to 
depart from, on the day they wanted to leave. The 
Railways used some computerized tools developed in­
house, but lacked an integrated application that could 
handle electronic reservations at the national level for 
the whole railway network.  With Romania’s entrance 
into the European Union, Calatori SA needed to 
modernize its service and bring its operations up to EU 
standards, which included offering online reservations 
and connecting with reservation systems in other 
countries. 
CFR Calatori SA, the company within Romanian 
Railways responsible for passenger transportation, 
turned to HP. HP had designed the infrastructure for the 
Bucharest station in 1993 – as well as supplied the 
general infrastructure for the pilot system, including 
servers, PCs, and printers. Based on a government 
decision, CFR Calatori SA asked HP to provide a 
countrywide computing infrastructure, which would 
support a nationwide ticketing and reservation system 
with eventual online capabilities. 
Architecture designed for industry-leading 
performance 
Consultants from HP designed the hardware 
architecture for the local and regional systems and the 
central data center in Bucharest for the central core 
systems. HP Integrity servers running Linux, grouped in 
a clustered configuration based on the application 
stack, provide industry-leading performance to process 
transactions quickly, and handle the increasing volume 
of requests as the country implements new stations. 
“Speed is a key success factor. We appreciate the 
proven performance and secured availability of the 
Integrity servers,” says Cintia Chinde, Commercial 
Director for SNTFC (Societatea Nationala de Transport 
Calatori – National Passengers Company) ,CFR 
Calatori SA.  “Our collaboration with the HP 
consultants was excellent. They were very receptive to 
our requests.” 
CFR Calatori chose Linux on HP Integrity servers for 
several main reasons: availability and performance, 
the capability to configure the servers to run the 
environment at a low system administration cost, the 
strong support for this operating system from the 
important IT companies, and the cost of the license. 
The Integrity servers also run the HP-UX 11i operating 
system. 
Says Chinde, "HP Serviceguard software protects our 
applications so that we can continue providing 
reservation and ticketing services. Running Linux on our 
Integrity servers gives us a stable, economical 
operating platform. Additionally, for our UNIX-based 
applications, we depend on HP-UX 11i to supply robust
