Yup, the Basho folks were/are very good about that. BTW hi, we've quite likely met, though I don't know which Basho alum you are. ;) And yes, even I was a pretty late entrant to the HA game. I never worked on Tandem systems, but I worked with Tandem people at the job I mentioned, after having worked with both Stratus and Sequoia systems previously. Those were all FT rather than HA, but the point remains that work on making systems survive failures through redundancy goes back much further than the OP mentions.
