We are currently working on this next, major jump in technology.

The Micro kernel is a small software layer which sits between the OS and the hardware. This will enable more than one OS to run on the one machine (at the same time) as well as enabling an OS to run across machines (distributed OS).

This will give us a cluster of machines (which can mirror each other if necessary) to provide a virtual machine whose components have a very high degree of fault resilience and availability.
