3n (National Notification Network) Optimizes System Reliability and Availability

Overview 3n is a leading provider of mass notification systems. The company's InstaCom system enables one person, through one call or a Web browser, to deliver critical information to thousands of people via any communication channel - be it phone, fax, e-mail, instant messenger, Short Message Service (SMS), computer, or Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) - and to cycle through each and every channel on record until the message is delivered and confirmed by the recipient. In 2006, the company decided to try an innovative approach to safeguarding its reliability by using a high availability feature of Oracle Database 10g called Oracle Streams. The new capability allows a variety of technologies to share and propagate data, events, and messages.
