Tuxedo is a transaction manager, among other things. It provides a means of guaranteeing atomicity, consistency , isolation and durability of transactions. OLTP monitors also provide for security and interfaces among multiple resource managers. For example, you might have an application that accesses DB2, IMS, Oracle, Sybase, etc. via the same API (Tuxedo).

Tuxedo is not yet DCE-compliant, though USL says they are working on it.  It is the most mature of the products in this niche, with the best performance.

For detailed info you might contact Unix Systems Laboratories, in Summit, NJ.

FTR: I have no financial interest in Tuxedo (don't even use it).
