But one such server is running since 1993 and has completed almost 24 years of life without a breakdown.
While a lot may have changed since 1993 but the Stratus has been running like an old war horse.
Hogan, however, estimates that close to 80% of the system is original.

It never shut down on its own because of a fault it couldnt handle, said Hogan.
I cant even think of an instance where we had an unplanned shutdown, he said.
Hogans server which had completed 17 long years of operation emerged a winner.
Its been extremely stable, he said.
Luckily for Hogan there are still vendors available who stock spare parts and accessories for this antiquated war horse.
Stratus builds systems that support Windows, Linux, VMware and VOS.
Hogans company is now is now a part of United States Steel Corp.
The new company plans to upgrade its entire system and Stratus will, therefore, be retired.
Really a sad moment for Hogan and all the tech lovers in the world.
