Yes, the're called the System/88. 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.
