Really hard to replicate Tandem Nonstop's feature set if that was what you actually needed.

Of course part of the reason it faded away (indeed, was gradually fading away even when I worked for Tandem) is that almost nobody does need that sort of reslience.

Loma Prieta Earthquake, day 2.

Bank calls the Tandem support line: "Our computer is down. It crashed! How do we get it back up?"

It wasn't offline. It had fallen over, punching through some of the sections of the raised floor.
