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!”
