Claranet Group's proprietary business order management and invoicing system, Messina, is currently used at 7 sites in Europe and the United States with PostgreSQL at it's core. Disaster recovery procedures rely on Write Ahead Log Shipping, and there is currently work underway investigating and testing the use of Slony I to consolidate data into a global database.
