I once found a company selling a password server like Thycotic Secret Server that must have been written by a madman. It used secret sharing to split the passwords into 3 of 5 shards and stored them on 5 different servers. He wrote the server in two different languages and it was meant to run on both windows and Linux and BSD to prevent common bugs. I don't remember the name and can't find it anymore.

AWS is using a lot of Formal Verification and Automated theorem proving on their core systems like S3 and TLS to increase reliability.
