From Edge to Cloud …

Now that it’s all about the Edge and the Cloud, NTI has the solutions for NonStop users to move the data to wherever it is needed! And in the upcoming August issue of NonStop Insider, you will read of good questions being asked by NTI.  So, as we leave the core and head to the perimeter, what is over the edge for NonStop?


“We are all conscious of just how cautious our NonStop clients are when it comes to making major changes,” said Tim Dunne, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales, NTI. “It’s been several years since HPE announced that NonStop X systems would become available but the NonStop user community has adopted a baby-steps approach to the introduction of these new NonStop X systems into production environments.” This isn’t a surprise for anyone familiar with the market places where NonStop supports mission critical applications, but all the same, noted Dunne, “Should we expect the movement to even more adventurous NonStop products like virtualization and NonStop as a Service to follow a similar baby steps model or will we see a faster rate of adoption of these new features?”

There will be challenges for both HPE and the NonStop user community as virtualization is introduced but the outcome is inevitable. NonStop on traditional systems along with NonStop on virtual machines is a duopoly that is here to stay – and well worth every member of the NonStop user community spending time to explore. As for what’s beyond the edge – it’s all about data. Lots of data coming at us with unprecedented velocity. And yet, it is the substance that will alter forever the way we interact with our customers, our business partners and our machines.

“When it comes to the support provided today by NTI, if our clients source data is on NonStop under the management of NS SQL, and the target is NoSQL, Hadoop, etc. we do not require any access to intermediate servers to complete the replication. If any target supports JDBC we can ship the data there now with the products we already have,” said Dunne. “We are already replicating to instances at AWS and other cloud providers; it’s not a problem for DRNet®.”

But this isn’t the complete story. There is a lot more covered in the article to the August issue NonStop Insider that will be published in a matter of days so watch for the update to come as it becomes available.

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...

Data is King: What NonStop Mission-Critical Applications Can Learn from Formula 1

“Getting through the mountains of data generated in Formula 1 can be a ‘needle in a haystack’ process for teams searching for performance ... In a sporting series as technologically cutting-edge as Formula 1, data has become king.” For the NonStop community, this is throwing a spotlight on transaction processing in new ways. For every transaction initiated at a retailer, for instance, there is a need to know more about that end user (buying the product or service) in order to immediately up-sell something else. The time you have a customer in front of you can be very short, so retailers know the importance of leveraging those few minutes. This is leading to a greater demand for data integration; retailers are looking to integrate analytics with transaction processing in real time. Yes, data integration! And data integration is how meaningful information is created ... Of course we are all familiar with the need to ensure data is never lost or taken offline for any reason. W...

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...
