Founded in 1974, Tandem Computers was a leader in high-availability computing. For decades, if you had an application that absolutely could not tolerate unplanned downtime -- a bank, a stock exchange, a telephone network -- Tandem's "NonStop" computers were aimed at you.
NonStop machines achieved reliability through massive hardware redundancy. A NonStop computer was a cluster of computing modules, each with its own processors, memory, disks. A failure in one couldn't affect the others.
Redundancy made Tandem. So naturally, when they made some coffee mugs, it was important that they feature redundancy too.
