SunTUG was the place to be – news and updates provided by NTI


RUG events kicked off in earnest in February with all roads leading to Tampa, Florida, the Sunshine State. SunTUG has traditionally pulled together a very large cross section of the NonStop community and it didn’t disappoint in 2020 – close to 100 attendees participated in the two days of planned activities. When it came time to giving away gifts as the show came to a close, it was Jim Keene of JPMC who took home the prized NTI iPad.

NTI has provided a strong support to RUG and GEO events worldwide where our message has resonated well with all members of the NonStop community. However, together with our colleagues across the NonStop vendor landscape we are now being challenged as authorities are aggressively dissuading events of any kind from taking place. To this end, we are adhering to any requests for postponements or cancellations on the understanding that it is our responsibility to comply with requests for social distancing.

Nevertheless, NonStop systems continue to be a much needed component of countries’ infrastructure. Almost overnight the businesses we serve face not just changing socioeconomic conditions but are radically altering their business models – car factories are switching to building ventilators and distilleries that once produced alcoholic beverages are now producing sanitizing lotions. And much more!

Data, and reliable fresh data, is even more highly valued as fully understanding the trends is needed to better trigger positive responses. For many, NonStop creates the data. Whether it’s governments holding press briefings or the media attempting to keep us all informed or even businesses releasing financial results almost without exception they come with charts displaying data. At NTI, we are accelerating our development and testing of new products that help get data from NonStop and into Data Warehouse and Data Lakes and this is creating widespread interest across the NonStop community.
     
In the March 2020 issue of NonStop Insider – the 42nd time this publication has been produced – At SunTUG, our first RUG event of 2020, the response for NTI has been positive! – NTI provides further insights into the ways data can be passed to platforms analyzing the data that is generated by mission critical solutions. Following the availability of support for Splunk>, at SunTUG it became clear that NonStop users are increasingly intrested in DRNet® /Vision addressing other platforms –

“As a complement to previous ways to ingest data based on JDBC (and requiring a staging server between a NonStop source and any target), it is propelling NTI into the middle of many discussions among NonStop customers, particularly among those in the Financial Services industry. At SunTUG this year there were many such users present for the event. ‘Interest in DRNet® /Vision, particularly as it relates to interfacing to Open Source data-focused products like Kafka and Hadoop, surpassed NTI’s expectations at least ten-fold,’ said Tim Dunne, NTI Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales.

“‘Whereas Kafka and Hadoop are considered being highly valued elements supporting today’s modern approach to data management infrastructure, it is the ease with which NTI extracts data at the source that makes it easy to populate them. Leveraging decades of experience with Change Data Capture (CDC) techniques to deliver a low impact method of extracting data from NonStop databases is now being recognized as a viable vehicle for providing greater integration of NonStop with the rest of systems in the data center.’ It’s all about ease of deployment and ease of use that has captured the attention of the NonStop community and at SunTUG this was evident with every conversation we had.”  

Please let us know too if you are now interested in directing data created on NonStop to clouds and in particular, to popular products like Snowflake, as increasingly such products are proving critical to businesses and to their ability to respond to changing business climates.

NTI: Bringing value of partnerships to NonStop customers.

A popular Australian industry commentator, Kim Brebach the Content Chief & Business Strategist at Tech Torque Systems, recently posted to LinkedIn an examination of our over-reliance on terms that could best be described, for the most part, as being nothing more than a string of clichés. To drive home the point, Brebach pulled together the following: “I’m no visionary, evangelist, or thought leader either. A man has got to know his limitations. Visionary. Evangelist – I love amazing words that take your writing to the next level. And fancy ones like mesmerize, incentivize and monetize. Let's think strategically for a moment: if we put amazing words like these together with powerful clichés, we'll have a marriage made in heaven. We could own this space, right?” We may smile to ourselves as we read the above but coming as this does after we have all sat through many presentations on products and services that were given at this year’s All-Digital Experience, there were numer...

NTI wonders; do you know the way to San Jose, or rather, to your computer?

  The boys are back on the diamond swinging for the fences while others are taking to the grid iron. Cars are once again racing on track even as rugby down-under is heading for finals. Everywhere you look in these troubled times, there are contests underway and the crowds may be cardboard cut-outs, but there is no denying that competitions are being taken seriously, no matter the contest.   When it comes to technology, competition couldn’t be fiercer. The potential to get your message before millions of “eyeballs” has become the main marketing outlet for many in business and for good reason, there are fewer readers of traditional media and network television is under real threat from streaming services. Hands up if you have access to channels from Amazon Prime, Netflix and Disney+? Point is, none of this is lost on the NonStop community as we watch vendors vie for prominence in any decision-making situation.   One of the real benefits NonStop users enjoy is a cons...
