Successful RUG participation behind us, DRNet® leaves its mark on NonStop!



After a number of posts featuring gushing oil wells and shining gold bars together with well-weathered silos, it’s not too difficult to surmise how the story line unfolded for DRNet® at recent NonStop Regional User Group meetings. Taking DRNet® management to different continents and experiencing first-hand the priorities being set by NonStop users, RUG meetings never disappoint when it comes to providing a forum for discussion concerning the opportunities befalling NonStop today.

Perhaps the concluding social event at the recent GTUG hosted European NonStop HotSpot 2018/IT-Symposium 2018 - Conference & Exhibition provided the best image of the NonStop community (now driving forward with numerous new product offerings) as the doors of the nearby Leipzig Porsche factory were thrown wide open. For me nothing sums up forward movement better than a Porsche car and so it was, as GTUG wound down, attendees left with impressions not only of the options they had but also of the speed with which HPE and NonStop is driving forward with new technologies, services and products. The NTI participants had similar impressions attending both events, GTUG, Germany, and N2TUG, Texas, USA; NonStop continues to attract a crowd even as it continues to remain an important platform for any enterprise user.  

“Within the traditional OLTP space,” said Tim Dunne, NTI Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales, “given all that I have seen these past couple of weeks, NonStop continues to be viable and well-positioned and the major players in their respective markets will remain reliant on NonStop.” “Furthermore”, said Dunne, “I think the ‘new logos,’ as HPE describes new NonStop users, will arrive with the advent and roll-out of exciting new technologies like Blockchain. It still surprises many in the industry that HPE went with NonStop first when it came to implementing Blockchain on HPE mission critical systems, but for our customers NonStop isn’t a surprise at all!”

When it comes to opening new markets for DRNet®, NTI is onboard with wherever HPE takes NonStop and what all the news about NonStop is doing is ensuring the majority of NonStop users will be less inclined to discount the value proposition of NonStop or look to other platforms to support their mission critical applications. In so doing, the market for DRNet® will continue to expand and no one better understands the needs of these users than NTI who has a longer history in this marketplace than any other vendor.

“As for the attendance at RUG events by the NonStop community,” said Dunne, “By all appearances, and despite cost constraints, the RUGs appear to be growing in size. Interest in NonStop simply does not appear to be waning in the least!” NonStop has definitely ingratiated itself with the community and has left a positive mark on all who attended these latest RUG events. NTI participation in the numerous discussions and presentations promoting DRNet® has left indelible mark on the NonStop community as well!

DRNet®/Unified for HPE Customers; On-Prem and “as a service,” NTI delivers!

HPE Discover 2021 may already be a distant memory for some but the messages that were coming out of the event will be resonating with the industry for quite some time. Looking beyond the “age of insight” and even HPE becoming “a world leading edge to cloud platform as a service company,” it is now very much a case of HPE bringing the cloud experience to the enterprise.   Not surprisingly, the byline for this story is the bigger message that the enterprise data center will be with us for a long time. This isn’t to say that cloud service providers will not be making their presence felt in these same data centers, one way or the other, but rather recent events have further reinforced the value proposition of being your own IT master.   With the cloud experience coming to a data center near you, enterprises can benefit from the best of both worlds. The security and robustness from on-prem computing together with all the flexibility that comes with cloud experiences. For th...

DRNet®/Unified for HPE; aligned with HPE messaging for 2021

  Sometimes you can be fortuitous in your planning and even lucky with your messaging. Then again, you might be able to put it down to the interactions between team members that drive conversations to where ideas flourish and images take shape in your mind. For much of 2021 the NTI team has been engaged in such processes and it has led to a reimagining of how best to present the DR Net ® product suite while complementing earlier messaging with a number of modern touches.   Where our conversations led us was to an appreciation of safety, of reduced risks and of having confidence in your partner! Whether it was the Americas’ Cup yacht races in New Zealand or simply a trip to the coast to watch other sailboats, the idea of reduced risk brought to the fore the images of a safe haven and a bay with a lighthouse. For many vendors, even those we may be familiar with and have served the NonStop community well for a long time, images of lighthouses have been a good way to project ...

NTI continues to grow ecosystem of partners to better serve NonStop community

  It would be hard to miss the growth in the ecosystem of partners NTI has attracted. The NonStop community is familiar with the DR Net ® product suite but this hasn’t stopped NTI reaching out to product, service and consulting companies to ensure NTI’s coverage worldwide. The presence of these partners in an ecosystem does two things for the company; it reassures prospects that there have been others before them, so risks are greatly reduced and it reinforces the NonStop community at large that the company and its products provide a compelling reason for others to consider DR Net ® in the future.   A lot has changed within the NonStop community. HPE has invested in the NonStop product line and there are numerous options available to the community. NonStop continues to be sold along traditional lines as a converged system but it is also available as a virtual system on customer-supplied x86 servers. These options have become well known, but perhaps even more interesting is...
