High-availability (HA) systems strive for 99.999 percent availability, which is roughly five minutes of downtime per year. As communication service providers move toward offering next-generation voice, data, video, and content services on both mobile and wireline devices, the ability to continuously manage the complex transactions created by service delivery is critical to capturing revenue and preventing revenue leakage. "A lot of vendors say they have high availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. , but in reality next-generation service delivery really tests the ability of many OSSs to deliver," said Elisabeth Rainge, program director for next-generation OSS with IDC, an independent industry research and analysis firm. "As well, large-scale carrier deployment requires built-in redundancy and the distribution of billing and rating functions over a number of separate servers to ensure reliability and performance. This functionality is absolutely critical for revenue recognition and profitability." To address these critical issues, Singl.eView 5.0 supports the distribution of its processes across multiple servers in a distributed architecture. Singl.eView also supports Oracle 9i Real Application Clusters, the multi-node extension to Oracle databases that allows the distribution of database servers across multiple nodes. As a result, a database server failure will not cause the loss of Singl.eView function. "For service providers who need an always-available and highly reliable commerce, billing and customer management solution, Singl.eView offers exceptional scalability, performance, and ease of both configuration and management," said Simon Pincus, director of Singl.eView product management for ADC Software Systems Business Unit. "Uninterrupted revenue management is mission-critical. Coupled with our patent-pending Commerce Engine for pre-, post-, and now-pay transactions, Singl.eView meets the demands of always-on OSS and billing convergence on a single platform."
