Tributary Systems, Inc (TSI) was the global leader in providing secure storage and virtualization solutions for the high availability (fault-tolerant) Tandem  and other enterprise computing platforms.  TSI’s fully integrated solutions were designed for the most demanding high availability backup storage environments running mission critical applications.  Recognizing that TSI was the current market leader, and that other fault-tolerant systems would eventually be introduced to the market, TCP was able to execute a pricing strategy to generate a very healthy return before managing a designed wind-down of the investment 5 years later.
