HP announces fault-tolerant NT server

By Dominic Maher

Published: 8 June 1999 13:00 BST

Hewlett-Packard (HP) is to release what it claims to be its most reliable Windows NT server, based on fault-tolerant hardware from Marathon Technologies.

The NetServer Assured Availability system links four HP NetServers running applications on a single server.

HP is also guaranteeing a maximum of five minutes downtime per year, a result of the server being split into two functions: computing and I/O processing.

The fault-tolerant system from Marathon, known as Endurance, has been sold as an add-on for the past three years but this is the first time a vendor has integrated the technology into its systems.
