Tandem Computers puts out an `interesting' product. 

If you get your software supplied by tandem or a 3rd party vendor, then
you will feel nice and secure about their product - for a (short) time,
I was working at a site that had one of these beasties...one day the CE
comes in, opens up the cabinet and yanks out one of the cpu boards. All
of the backup processes took over...a REALLY cute trick.

However, if you're going to do the software yourself, just bag it. The
programming enviroment sucks dead tiddlywinks.

(now, back to stuff of interest)

I've heard that Tandem has been seeling poorly recently, and that may
be why their stock is soo low.
