Late-breaking news – you will hear more about NonStop in 2020 at RUG events worldwide!

The NonStop community is a very strong community that has taken considerable pride in organizing meetings on a regular basis. Community members have been associated with NonStop systems for three or more decades, perhaps longer. The history of NonStop is rich with anecdotes about who deployed what and when, even as the NonStop vendor community has thrived on solving business problems.

As one NonStop vendor put it recently in a presentation to the NonStop community, “We come together to better educate ourselves about the best ways to improve business outcomes; compelling value propositions built for NonStop need to be reinforced at every opportunity.” If you want to get the inside scoop on all that is planned for NonStop in 2020, whether this comes from the NonStop team or the NonStop vendor community, make plans to attend RUG events as they are held near your location.

NonStop systems always made a strong case for supporting mission critical solutions. As the pioneer of fault tolerant computing, these systems were designed with the understanding that at any given time something will fail and more often than not, failure will occur at the most critical time. However, of late, having a system that doesn’t fail is no longer enough.

Disasters, natural or otherwise – and we have all seen the result of devastating fires raging across Australia – can easily take out even the best designed and protected data center. Secondary and even tertiary data centers are now common place. When it comes to compelling arguments, there is little to be said against ensuring one data center can cover for another provided that the data is current. Bidirectional replication is a must and this is very much on the minds of the occupants of the corner office.  

In the most recent article just published in the January 2020 issue of NonStop Insider, NTI – a strategy for DRNet® that is centered on data and you will be hearing even more at RUG events in 2020! NTI looks at the community, at HPE’s strategy and in turn, provides an update on NTI’s own strategy that is anchored on data and that began with data replication -

Whenever we think of the NonStop user community, almost immediately we are drawn towards the much bigger ecosystem that the NonStop community enjoys – a highly motivated group of vendors focused on NonStop that fund development independent of HPE. As it was stated more than once at the major NonStop events in Edinburgh and Burlingame and repeated at smaller events like ATUG, Atlanta, no other group within HPE has as big a partner ecosystem committed to a HPE product line as does NonStop.

What the NonStop community is hearing from the HPE NonStop team is very positive and is bringing a wider range of options to data center managers and indeed to corporate CIOs -

With what we are seeing today, the moves to bring to the community Converged NonStop systems, Virtualized Converged Systems, Virtualized NonStop and yes, even NonStop and NonStop SQL as Services, NSaaS / DBaaS, are providing options as to how best deploy NonStop that are broader than we can recall happening at any other time.

Reinforcing the messages arising from NTI’s strategy that have been the subject of presentations given to the NonStop community in 2019, our decades of experience with replication opens the doors to more products coming from HPE under our new initiative -  

This has proved to be the starting point for NTI as it continues to develop product offerings that extend beyond business continuity with data replication and into business integration, distribution and transformation.

DRNet® [is building] on the promise of PROVisioning: Excellence in Data. Why Provisioning? Whether it is due to natural occurrences from floods to fires … provisioning is all about supplying something for use while at the same time, being prepared for any potential liabilities arising from unexpected occurrences.

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
