Funny all the fault tolerant companies were servers
Servers can be solid the fault tolerant vendors such as Tandem, Stratus and Sequoia were all server architectures that were much more reliable than most mainframes.

Sorry, but claiming servers are not reliable is bull. I know of a fault tolerant system that the customer forgot how to shutdown, since it had been up 12 years with no failures.
