These machines (as marketed by both Stratus and IBM) are fault-tolerant machines targeted at the transaction processing market (i.e. Tandem competition). Unlike the Tandem machines, all fault tolerance is designed into fully redundant hardware. This has the advantage of being completly transparent to the programmer. When programming a Tandem application, the programmer must write the code to be fault tolerant. -- James Sterbenz Computer and Communications Research Center Washington University in St. Louis 314-726-4203 INTERNET: jps@wucs1.wustl.edu UUCP: wucs1!jps@uunet.uu.net
