ECLIPSE is a next-generation virtual telecommunication network that provides multimedia services that integrate voice, video, text, and images. ECLIPSE facilitates the modular decomposition of new telecommunication services. In this paper we sketch the challenges we face in making ECLIPSE highly available when running on top of a heterogenous and widely distributed system. We describe how we approach these challenges using the modular decomposition of services provided by ECLIPSE and novel failure detection and recovery strategies.
