Alfredo,
Loosing current data is just one parameter of the range of overall reliability.
Predictable response times,
Predictable system availability,
Predictable forward compatibility,
Predictable online data integrity, and
Predictable archive data integrity,
are all hallmarks of the HP3000.
I 'predict' that if you underwrote a survey of different OS and database platforms that these
parameters of 'reliability' would mean different things to different people.

Our pleasure, indeed. The idea is to NEVER lose data. In fact, I have a
new Adager advertising brewing. In typical fashion, it will stress the
HP3000, MPE/iX, and IMAGE. I would like to solicit input from all my
friends on HP3000-L and comp.sys.hp.mpe before this draft gets some
graphics and hits the presses:
Is LOSING DATA the norm or the exception for you?
If it is the norm, you should seriously consider switching
to an HP3000 computer.
If it is the exception, you are probably a normal
HP3000 computer user.
The HP3000 computer is an exceptionally well-kept secret.
Its MPE/iX operating system was designed, from scratch, to be
multi-processing and multi-tasking. Its IMAGE/SQL DBMS is legendary
for its reliability, for its performance, and for its economy of
resources while serving thousands of concurrent users.
Thanks to the magic of TCP/IP, you can access information on an
HP3000 IMAGE database from any place on the globe. You get the best
of both worlds: (1) The reliability, maturity, economy, and
performance of a multiprocessing HP3000 SERVER and (2) its
connectivity to today's (and tomorrow's) CLIENT workstations.
Normal HP3000 users take all of this for granted. Do you find it
exceptional?
Remember, this is just a draft! So, please don't be too nasty with your
comments :-)
