I mentioned before my wife got con'ed into going to POK in charge of
loosely-coupled architecture where she created "peer-coupled shared
data" architecture. she didn't stay long, in part of little uptake
(except for IMS hot-standby, until sysplex) and in part because of
ongoing battles with communication group trying to force her into using
vtam/sna for loosely-couple coordination. misc. past posts

when we were doing cluster scaleup for ha/cmp (both for commercial/DBMS
and scientific/numeric intensive) ... we didn't have to worry about the
communication group ... old post about early Jan1992 meeting in
Ellison's conference room
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/95.html#13

what we did have to worry about ... old email about cluster scalenup
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/lhwemail.html#medusa

the last email in above is possibly only hrs before being told the
cluster scaleup stuff is transferred and we weren't allowed to work on
anything with more than four processors. then a couple weeks later it
being announced for scientific/numeric-intensive *ONLY*
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001n.html#6000clusters1 920217 ... scientific and 
technical only
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001n.html#6000clusters2 920511 ... caught by 
surprise

I make fun of it in this old post
