NTI prominent at TBC 2019 – Data Integration with Cloud to play bigger role for DRNet® users!

The level of participation in HPE NonStop’s annual NonStop Technical Boot Camp (TBC) was encouraging to see and now that attendees have returned home, there is ample time to cover topics that were popular at the event. Clearly, it’s become increasingly noticeable that enterprises worldwide are embracing hybrid IT and that clouds are playing an important role in many of the decisions enterprises are making. Who wouldn’t want to become more productive at less cost? Who wouldn’t want to break the cycle of upfront investments for a more flexible, pay-as-you-go, model?

The number of times presentations highlighting the benefits of IT embracing an Operational Expense (OpEx) model, versus the traditional Capital Expense (CapEx) options of the past, were hard to miss. The NonStop team is fully behind models that extend the “as-a-Service” option even as at this time these were baby-steps on a journey many NonStop users would be undertaking over the course of the coming decade.


This is where hybrid IT plays an important role as its implications for IT are not just destined for cloud take up, but include the presence of traditional IT as well. This is a journey and there will be many steps taken before clouds become ubiquitous to the point where every data center is in a cloud.

According to Tim Dunne, NTI Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales:

“Whenever the industry undergoes major transition there are opportunities and NTI recognizes that among the more important items the NonStop community needs to address is data integration.
“With our history steeped in data replication, the move to data integration represents a major step for NTI, but it delivers the level of capability and indeed reliability that NTI has been known for from the time it first introduced DRNet® to the NonStop community.” 

In today’s data-driven world, where NonStop provides support of mission critical applications, it’s increasingly important for NonStop customers and prospects to have access to as many options as are available when it comes to moving data from NonStop to targets such as clouds. NTI is providing leadership in this marketplace and elected to coexist with other solutions which is only further enhancing NTI’s reputation as a premier product provider for all things data related!

Data Integration with Clouds – private and public – in time will play a bigger role for DRNet® users! This is a key element in the strategy NTI has developed in support of an expanded DRNet® product portfolio that today is better known as PROVisioning: Excellence in Data. However, having a vision and a strategy is just a starting point.  What became very clear at TBC 2019 was that the DRNet® extended product family is finding its place in the real world where today there are many NonStop users already deploying DRNet® to meet the demands of data movement!

TBC 2019 proved to be very successful for NTI in terms of us being able to promote our products and this is just the beginning. Transforming to hybrid IT is under way and it is inclusive of data centers where there is a NonStop presence. This too was noted by NTI’s Dunne:

“As we talked with almost every other NonStop vendor of late it’s clear that HPE is doing extremely well selling the new NonStop X systems and it’s not all replacement business – there are new applications for NonStop being actively discussed by some of our NonStop customers and the more applications we see deployed on NonStop, whether on traditional NonStop X or on vNS in private clouds, the more we know even more data will be on the move!”

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...
