iSCSI is making network shared storage an increasingly popular choice in the midmarket. A $15K device can offer 2.5TB shared storage to 6 servers. Now that looks remarkably like the architecture of the VAX clusters of old. Perhaps it is time to resurrect the Firebird VAX clustering code.

FWIP is the WIMP equivalent (alias) with firebird used instead of mysql

to make my paper available to the public.

Some small portion of the text is outdated (based on version 0.4.0),
but you can read about history and basic ideas around the project:
