	Tandem Computers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tandem Computers was an early manufacturer of fault tolerant computer systems, marketed to the growing number of transaction processing customers who used them for ATMs, banks, stock exchanges and other similar needs.
		Tandem Computers was founded in 1974 by a group of engineers from Hewlett-Packard, led by James Treybig.
		Tandem also provided a number of tools to easily port existing object code to the new systems, resulting in code that was some 25% slower than the original Cyclone.

		In computer architecture, a bus is a subsystem that transfers data or power between computer components inside a computer or between computers.
		In computer science, 16-bit is an adjective used to describe integers that are at most two bytes wide, or to describe CPU architectures based on registers, address buses, or data buses of that size.
		In computer architecture, a processor register is a small amount of very fast computer memory used to speed the execution of computer programs by providing quick access to commonly used values—typically, the values being in the midst of a calculation at a given point in time.

		Tandem, for the first time, would provide Compaq with systems that are completely different from PCs, advanced computers used by telephone companies and stock exchanges that value their reliability.
		Tandem's sales have been stagnant at around $2 billion for seven years and its profit gains have been spotty since it shed its reliance on proprietary hardware and software designs in 1993.
		Analysts said the Tandem deal won't prevent Compaq from an acquisition that brings its marketing reach closer to that of IBM or H-P. Tandem was founded in 1974 by James Treybig, a former Hewlett-Packard executive, to sell specialized "fail-proof" computers that were a hit with banks, which used them to power automated teller machine networks.

		Tandem systems tolerate over 4 hours of lost power without losing any data or communications state (the MTTR is almost zero), so customers do not generally report minor power outages (less than 1 hour) to us.
		As the adage says, "If it's not broken, don't fix it." On the other hand, a Tandem study found that a high percentage of outages were caused by "known" hardware or software bugs, which had fixes available, but the fixes were not yet installed in the failing system.
		When substantial computation or storage is required in the backup, the primary state is copied to the backup so that the message log and replay can be discarded.
