Infrabel Makes the Trains Run on Time
Read how the Belgian railway network is ensuring punctuality and safety : Infrabel developed custom software that monitors the position of trains in real time at every point on the network. Sun Ray 2 Virtual Clients connected to Sun Ray Servers and Sun Fire V890 servers powered by the Solaris 10 OS, form the backbone of the system.
