Which makes me wonder - does anyone know if HP has plans to port NonStop to some non-Itanium platform?

I have never worked with this system, but I have heard great things about its scalability and availability.

Nonstop has already been ported to x86-64 some years ago. It runs fine there - with better performance than it did on Itanium.
