Fault tolerance is often the only viable way of obtaining the required system dependability from systems built out of "off-the-shelf" (OTS) products. We have studied a sample of bug reports from four off-the-shelf SQL servers so as to estimate the possible advantages of software fault tolerance - in the form of modular redundancy with diversity - in complex off-the-shelf software. We checked whether these bugs would cause coincident failures in more than one of the servers. We found that very few bugs affected two of the four servers, and none caused failures in more than two. We also found that only four of these bugs would cause identical, undetectable failures in two servers. Therefore, a fault-tolerant server, built with diverse off-the-shelf servers, seems to have a good chance of delivering improvements in availability and failure rates compared with the individual off-the-shelf servers or their replicated, non-diverse configurations.
