It would have been nice if they had given some of the technical specs of the system. After all, it is an article in "computer" world.

Some information on Stratus computers and their VOS operating system can be found here:

From /r/sysadmin discussion earlier today:

Stratus servers are nuts; got to rip an old one up a long time ago, it had individual batteries backing each hard drive, dual mumble kilowatt main PSUs, etc, etc. all in support of a set of Motorola 68020 cpus and 128mb RAM in 1990 or so.
