NTI – DRNet®; for when it comes time to integrate data created on NonStop with the rest of IT!


When Jeff Kyle, HPE VP & GM Mission Critical Solutions, stood before the audience gathered recently in Atlanta for the ATUG Regional User Group (RUG) meeting, two of his comments resonated with the community. The first was a reference to “we, at NonStop, create data” whereas the second was more of a challenge thrown out to all NonStop competitors, “NonStop – won’t Stop!” In one short presentation, Kyle touched on NonStop’s role as a vital source of data created while running mission critical applications whereas the challenge reiterated what makes NonStop viable today; it’s fault tolerance is as relevant an attribute as it ever was even as it attracts dissension from those who think good enough is well, good enough!

These observations and comments coming from Kyle reinforce the critical message you will hear coming from NTI today – it’s all about the data. Move the data, replicate the data, distribute the data, integrate the data and yes, transform the data. It’s a data world, after all, even as HPE continues to champion the message that data is the new currency of business. By this HPE means, understand the data and you understand the needs of your customers and with understanding comes a competitive edge. Your enterprise just knows more than its competitors! As it was noted in our last post, DRNet® / Vision is the answer for NonStop users wanting to capitalize on real time data and metadata being created by applications running on NonStop that the enterprise needs to integrate with data from elsewhere in order to gain better insights into end-user behavior.

The presence of NonStop within an enterprise is there because it’s a customer facing, mission critical system. In having this presence it’s almost a given that there will be other systems there as well even as the possibility that clouds, private and public, will be a part of the system environment supporting the business. This is what today all vendors are calling Hybrid IT and it’s a major part of HPE’s strategy as a business – meeting the needs of enterprise Hybrid IT and it’s the driving force behind NonStop being part of HPE’s core software offerings. This was also the subject of the September, 2019 feature article to NonStop Insider: NTI – Delivering on PROVisioning: Excellence in Data

As for Hybrid IT where data centers will be populated with a mix of servers together with on-prem private clouds and possibly connections to multiple public clouds, ensuring service to applications deployed on NonStop will be essential for any business looking to stay in business and becoming even more competitive.

In the world of real time transaction processing, this renewal is being driven by not just business embracing Hybrid IT, but rather, in an always-connected, always-on world that is central to HPE’s messaging, every touch point a business may have with its customers and business partners needs to be fault tolerant and capable of supporting applications 24 X 7.

NTI with DRNet® and its focus on PROVisioning: Excellence in Data where Hybrid IT and NonStop with its fault tolerance, represent its strategy for replicating the data, distributing the data, integrating the data and transforming the data. This is what enterprises need and NTI is delivering.  Furthermore, in this feature article you will read where Tim Dunne, NTI Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales, said:

“Is your business under pressure to integrate data created on NonStop with applications running elsewhere in your enterprise? Do you have a need to capitalize on real time data and metadata to gain better insights into end-user behavior?

“PROVisioning with DRNet®/Vision will clearly address all your solution needs allowing you to compete effectively in today’s business environment. As a long time, well-respected HPE NonStop solution provider, NTI has designed a lightweight solution to extend its current capabilities or coexist with existing replication technologies.”

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...
