Trends Emergency notification is taking on increasing importance in both the Public and Private Sector. Organizations are being held accountable – by government, insurers, by employees and the public • Recent trends: • National Fire Protection Association 72 (2010): requires audible voice via mass notification systems • OSHA 1910.38 and 1910.165 lay out guidelines for Emergency Action Plans and Employee Alarm Systems • Commercial Insurance Carriers are asking clients for their emergency plans, including employee notification, because of increasing workplace liability • Clery Act requirement of immediate warnings of crimes that represent a threat to the safety of students or employees Bottom line: all customers need mass notification

InformaCast Director • Trigger notifications from a central source, while sending unique messages from each InformaCast server • Send unicast messages from the Director, while leveraging multicast on the local network • Consolidate cities, schools, hospitals, governments into one notification stream • Federate multiple InformaCast servers across disparate networks
Use Case – Regional Notification Issue • County has 15 distinct instances of InformaCast: 8 schools, 3 cities, 3 hospitals and the county itself. They want to be able to send a broadcast to all of the entities in the case of an emergency. • Solution • InformaCast Director is used to send separate messages to each of the organizations, based on pre-defined criteria. • Key Takeaway • When the need arises to alert large groups of people, e.g. in the event of a chemical spill, Director can do so when other communication networks are overloaded.
Use Case – Distributed UC Environment Issue • Large organization has several Cisco UC clusters with multiple large sites, as well as several non-Cisco sites. • Solution • InformaCast Director is used to tie together mass notification and paging across the Cisco and non-Cisco sites. • Key Takeaway • InformaCast Director helps an organization scale to serve the largest UC environments.
