NTI – overcoming data’s Wild West “frontier days!”


In the most recent articles and blog posts featuring NTI and DRNet®, there have been multiple references to the rapid uptick of interest in all things related to data – it’s now being said by HPE executives that data, together with time, represent the new currency (of business.) What HPE is telling the industry is that, when it comes to currency, “Data has become the new gold that backs the value of companies, though it is a gold that companies must locate, mine, and refine before spending. Business has shifted from making things to knowing things, so realizing usable data is the order of the day if a company wants to remain profitable.”

Expressed slightly differently, HPE Labs’ Chief Architect Kirk Bresniker views it, “Data used to be the cost. Now it’s the most interesting potential.” When it comes to data and all the tools on offer to help discover the gold hidden in a company’s data, it’s like the times when the Gold Rush of old helped create America’s Wild West.

For NTI, it has become very much a case of it being all about the data. For some time now NTI has been championing a message centered on data that covers the enterprise need to replicate data, integrate data and to transform and enrich data. DRNet® is at the very heart of all that NTI provides and behind DRNet® is the Change Data Capture (CDC) model that NTI pioneered on NonStop and it today empowers its diverse mix of product offerings. “There will always be a need to replicate data to ensure disasters of any type don’t take down an enterprise,” said Tim Dunne, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales, NTI. “But that’s just a starting point. Once we have captured data we can send it off to a replicated site or simply push it to another database or even to multiple databases. And there is the opportunity to enrich critical data along the way. As for entering a new frontier then this is very much the case for nearly all our DRNet® customers – never has the number of options open to them been any wider!”

Since its inception IT has had to continuously face new frontiers. It may not be anything like the Wild West of old and yet for many CIOs and IT managers it was only a decade or so ago that they faced the free-wheeling dot.com era as they lived through the browser wars. And yet, for the experienced CIO or Data Center manager, there is a growing sense that perhaps it’s all too much. Perhaps getting to the gold will be better undertaken with help from those that know how to dig for gold! It is a very different landscape from anything that has happened in the past and what these CIOs and IT managers now face, according to Dunne, “NTI will be providing access to experienced professionals to help DRNet® customers navigate the Wild West and to help them embrace new frontiers to better grow their business. So yes, be assured, we have the people!”

This was the topic of the feature article in the February, 2019, issue of NonStop Insider,
NTI – a strategy for DRNet® that smooths the way to the new “data” frontier! If you experience difficulties accessing this web page simply cut and paste the following link into your browser - https://www.nonstopinsider.com/uncategorised/nti-a-strategy-for-drnet-that-smooths-the-way-to-the-new-data-frontier/ In this NonStop Insider article you will read more about the Wild West, data, and just how NTI is going about ensuring NonStop users can quickly find the gold! Without the right tools and utilities at hand companies will struggle to uncover the true value of their relationships to customers, business partners and the broader community within which they operate.

In some respects, selecting the wrong product will negate the costs associated with gathering data – there will be little recognition of data as having “the most interesting potential.” All this of course can be readily rectified with the deployment of DRNet® and the NonStop community has every opportunity for data leadership at a time when it’s still very much “frontier land!” All it takes is just a call to NTI and all that gold will be quickly uncovered and put to use to better generate the profitability all companies seek today. Just reach out to NTI if you would like to know more about DRNet® and how it works to ensure data is indeed your new currency!

NTI: Bringing value of partnerships to NonStop customers.

A popular Australian industry commentator, Kim Brebach the Content Chief & Business Strategist at Tech Torque Systems, recently posted to LinkedIn an examination of our over-reliance on terms that could best be described, for the most part, as being nothing more than a string of clichés. To drive home the point, Brebach pulled together the following: “I’m no visionary, evangelist, or thought leader either. A man has got to know his limitations. Visionary. Evangelist – I love amazing words that take your writing to the next level. And fancy ones like mesmerize, incentivize and monetize. Let's think strategically for a moment: if we put amazing words like these together with powerful clichés, we'll have a marriage made in heaven. We could own this space, right?” We may smile to ourselves as we read the above but coming as this does after we have all sat through many presentations on products and services that were given at this year’s All-Digital Experience, there were numer...
