Hello,
this is just my opinion and something to thought about...
I have read about SMS alerting here. I think, from a reliability point of
view, this kind of alerting, is not stable enough.
Your designs are based on sending an eMail to an SMS sending system.
A simple question: How do you get alerts for your eMail system?
We have implemented this functionality with a simple modem attached to the
Hobbit system and we dial the SMS provider directly.
I think, that this is a more reliable solution, if you want to do SMS
Alerting.
Another option is to give the important guys Blackberry or similar devices
and let them read the alert via eMail.
Advantage: they can access internal hobbit systems directly and confirm
alerts...
As I said... just some thoughts...
mit freundlichen Grüßen - Best regards
Hälsningar - Met vriendelijke groeten
Sincères salutations
