To state this question is trivial; the answer is surely less so:

Is it possible to have an Oracle instance and its data online around the clock, 365 days a year while "guaranteeing" against loss of data?

I am interested in knowing what such a setup could look like. There are no restrictions whatsoever, technically or financially. Has anybody on planet Earth achieved this? The scope of the configuation is in the "world-wide airline" range.

As I am basically not a DBA, I would highly appreciate if somebody could point me in the right direction. I've heard that it should be possible using a kind of "three-way replication". Does anybody know any details?

Thanks,
