Car’s on the driveway; snow is abating and we can’t wait for the drive to NonStop TBC 2019!



In the time that has passes following last year’s NonStop Technical Boot Camp (TBC), NTI has experienced amazing success in the marketplace in terms of new customers, further upgrades as well as successful PoCs / Pilots of new features.

From NTI’s perspective and from the evidence our DRNet® customers are providing, the NonStop X has developed considerable momentum and we have been pleased with the way we together with our many customers have been riding this wave.

Furthermore, the new virtualized NonStop is bound to find additional customers and we are already across many ongoing discussions with our customers and prospects alike; as for DRNet®/Vision – this too has developed traction in the short time we have had this new product in the marketplace and as for JSON support (recently added to complement our JDBC option) this too has attracted considerable interest even from NonStop users who are currently using products from other vendors!

There will be plenty of questions at this year’s TBC that will kick off this weekend in Burlingame, California none with a higher priority than those surrounding the major HPE initiatives to bring support of data center products to the edge even as HPE moves to support all of its current product offerings on the basis of “as-a-Service.”

There will be answers and explanations we believe that should make this TBC lively but for NTI, it will still be all about our DRNet® customers – looking forward to seeing you! Drop by our desk and yes, we extend a warm invitation to you to attend our presentation, Tuesday at 1:00 pm!

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...

NTI – DRNet®; best bet with analytics platform close by!

Half a decade ago IBM illustrated a post to the IBM blog with this schematic. IBM pulled data from 800 plus enterprises and published a report, “Under cloud cover: How leaders are accelerating competitive differentiation.” While we may raise concerns about the age of this report, it does hit the mark in some areas that the NonStop community seek to address – when to use cloud computing and how best to leverage virtualized NonStop and not forgetting just how important analytics have become.  In the coming years, it is HPE’s expectation that the number of enterprises running traditional NonStop versus those running virtualized NonStop (vNS) will likely be about the same. There is every potential that some vNS will find their way into the cloud, but perhaps most important of all, whether in the cloud or not, analytics platform will be close by and looking to access NonStop created data. Are you ready? Are you preparing for such a NonStop world? One observation by IBM, publ...

NTI – it’s a hybrid IT world where DRNet contributes!

Where HPE is taking NonStop today isn’t proving too surprising for the NonStop community. In fact, where NonStop is headed is a direction sorely needed by NonStop customers, big and small. The first step in the journey for NonStop came with the port of NonStop to x86, the migration of the interconnect from proprietary ServerNet to InfiniBand (IB) and more recently, to RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), and then a second step that saw an even bigger shift for NonStop as HPE complemented current support for physical machines with support for NonStop of virtual machines. Yes, NonStop is on a journey and that journey is going to better align NonStop with the major initiatives within HPE to simplify a data center’s transformation to hybrid IT. Under newly-elevated HPE CEO, Antonio Neri’s, direction HPE has divided itself into three core businesses. The major business (and the most relevant for the NonStop community) is called Hybrid IT and it is comprised of the compute, storage, and d...
