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!”

Events, Summits, Exhibitions and Symposiums – all providing valuable input for NTI!

The June through July period proved rather hectic as one event followed another. As the team returned from Leipzig, Germany, where the GTUG / European NonStop HotSpot 2018 had been held the plans were put in place to spend time with even more members of the Nonstop community. First it was a short trip to join with our good friends in Texas and Oklahoma for the N2TUG NonStop User Group meeting. A matter of a few days later, some of us then went to Las Vegas for HPE Discover 2018 before even more of the NTI team traveled  to Palo Alto for the NonStop Partner Technology Symposium 2018.  There is always something new that finds its way on to an agenda and there are always surprises. You don’t have to spend all that much time talking to your colleagues to better understand what was really being said between the lines, as it were. No, this time around HPE and the NonStop management held few punches as the transformation to Hybrid IT continues unabated. The NonStop user community is tu

Digging for oil – DRNet is helping NonStop users strike it rich!

NTI has been in business a very long time and has been providing support for NonStop users with its DR Net product set. Among its many customers there are numerous financial institutions relying on DR Net for data replication. When it comes to supporting payments solutions, these financial institutions cannot afford for their systems to be down for any reason and so historically, these institutions have depended upon DR Net to maximize their systems’ uptime, no matter what. However, DR Net offers so much more than just support for disaster recovery and with as much talk as there is today of maximizing the value locked away in the data these financial institutions accumulate over time, the replication capabilities of DR Net are being looked at again for DR Net applicability to integrate. In the post of April 2, 2018, reference is made to the recent article published in the March – April, 2018, issue of The Connection - Data is King: What NonStop Mission-Critical Applications
