IT Confidential
John Soat

United Airlines recently signed a contract to buy Stratus fault-tolerant
computers. Do they know something we don't? Stratus was acquired two
weeks ago by Ascend Communications, and Ascend made it clear that it had
plans only for Stratus' telecom business. A United Airlines IT executive says
he's not worried. Why? Mum's the word. But it's interesting to note that
Stratus runs on Hewlett-Packard's PA-RISC chip and HP-UX operating
system, and that HP resells Stratus' high-availability offerings to customers
such as British Airports Authority, which uses the system for baggage
handling.
