This week Tandem Computers made some significant announcements in the area
of commercial applications of massively parallel processors for large
databases and transaction processing systems.  In case anyone is
interested, this material is now available for anonymous FTP from the
directory ftp.digex.net:/pub/access/hecker/tandem/press-releases. 

The following files in that directory relate to the recent announcements: 

    mp-db-engine.txt
    mp-tp-engine.txt
    parallel-sw.txt
    parallel-dss.txt

The following material from last year gives a little background
information about Tandem's NonStop Himalaya family of fault-tolerant
"shared nothing" multiprocessor systems on which the new products are
based:

    reliable-servers.txt
    tdm-extends-mkt.txt
    unix-personality.txt
    usl.txt
    trans-servers.txt

A complete listing of all material by date and subject is in the 
file 00index (or 00index-by-date, sorted by date).
