A communication system includes a plurality of first entities. Each of the plurality of first entities includes at least one database. The system also includes at least one second entity being dedicated to at least one of the plurality of first entities. The at least one second entity includes data from databases associated with the plurality of first entities. The system further includes a third entity for determining when one of the plurality of first entities malfunctions and for selecting another one of the plurality of first entities as a redundant entity. The at least one second entity is associated with the redundant entity and data is retrieved from the at least one second entity to process incoming requests to the redundant entity.

1. A communication system comprising: a plurality of registers, each of the plurality of registers comprising at least one database;at least one register redundancy server being dedicated to at least one of the plurality of registers, the at least one register redundancy server comprising data from databases associated with the plurality of registers; anda service routing register configured to determine when one of the plurality of registers malfunctions and to select another one of the plurality of registers as a redundant entity, wherein the at least one register redundancy server is associated with the redundant entity and data is retrieved from the at least one register redundancy server to process incoming requests to the redundant entity. 2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the service routing register is configured to supervise and control the plurality of registers by sending a predetermined message to at least one unit in each of the plurality of registers, wherein the service routing register is configured to determine a malfunctioning one of the plurality of registers when the malfunctioning one does not respond to the predetermined message. 3. The system according to claim 1, wherein the redundant entity is configured without any subscriber information. 4. The system according to claim 1, wherein the each of plurality of registers is configured to communicate with at least one subscriber entity. 5. The system according to claim 1, wherein the system comprises a database interface configured to communicate with at least one external database. 6. The system according to claim 1, wherein the service routing register is configured to perform load sharing among the plurality of registers when one of the plurality of registers malfunctions. 7. The system according to claim 1, wherein the service routing register is configured to test the plurality of registers, wherein the service routing register uses test subscribers in the plurality of registers to determine which of the plurality of registers is a malfunctioning entity. 8. The system according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the plurality of registers comprises at least one database unit, wherein the service routing register is configured to use a predetermined value configured to determine a minimum number of the database units in one of the plurality of registers that are required to be simultaneously dysfunctional for the service routing register to select another one of the plurality of registers as a redundant entity. 9. A method for managing redundancy, the method comprising: creating at least one register redundancy server being dedicated to at least one of a plurality of registers, the at least one register redundancy server comprising data from databases associated with the plurality of registers;determining when one of the plurality of registers malfunctions;selecting another one of the plurality of registers as a redundant entity, wherein the at least one register redundancy server is associated with the redundant entity; andretrieving data from the at least one register redundancy server to process incoming requests to the redundant entity. 10. The method according to claim 9, wherein the determining when one of the plurality of registers malfunctions further comprising: supervising and controlling the plurality of registers by sending a predetermined message to at least one unit in each of the plurality of registers; anddetermining a malfunctioning one of the plurality of registers when the malfunctioning one does not respond to the predetermined message. 11. The method according to claim 9, further comprising enabling each of plurality of registers to communicate with at least one subscriber entity. 12. The method according to claim 9, wherein the selecting further comprises performing load sharing among the plurality of registers when one of the plurality of registers malfunctions. 13. The method according to claim 9, wherein prior to the determining when one of the plurality of registers malfunctions, the method further comprises testing each of the plurality of registers, wherein test subscribers are polled in each of the plurality of registers to determine which of the plurality of registers is a malfunctioning entity. 14. An apparatus for managing redundancy, the apparatus comprising: configuring means for configuring at least one register redundancy server being dedicated to at least one of a plurality of registers, the at least one register redundancy server comprising data from databases associated with the plurality of registers;determining means for determining when one of the plurality of registers malfunctions;selecting means for selecting another one of the plurality of registers as a redundant entity, wherein the at least one register redundancy server is associated with the redundant entity; andretrieving means for retrieving data from the at least one register redundancy server to process incoming requests to the redundant entity. 15. The apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the determining means further comprises: supervising and controlling means for supervising and controlling the plurality of registers by sending a predetermined message to at least one unit in each of the plurality of registers; anddetermining means for determining a malfunctioning one of the plurality of registers when the malfunctioning one does not respond to the predetermined message. 16. The apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the determining means further comprises testing means for testing each of the plurality of registers, wherein test subscribers in each of the plurality of registers are polled to determine which of the plurality of registers is a malfunctioning entity. 17. A service routing register configured to determine when one of a plurality of registers malfunctions and configured to selecting another one of the plurality of registers as a redundant entity, wherein each of the plurality of registers comprising at least one database, and wherein at least one register redundancy server being dedicated to at least one of the plurality of registers, the at least one register redundancy server comprising data from databases associated with the plurality of registers, and wherein the at least one register redundancy server is associated with the redundant entity and data is retrieved from the at least one register redundancy server to process incoming requests to the redundant entity. 18. The system according to claim 17, wherein the service routing register is configured to supervise and control the plurality of registers by sending a predetermined message to at least one unit in each of the plurality of registers, wherein the service routing register is configured to determine a malfunctioning one of the plurality of registers when the malfunctioning one does not respond to the predetermined message.
