It would be hard to
miss the growth in the ecosystem of partners NTI has attracted. The NonStop
community is familiar with the DRNet®
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 DRNet® 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 the move by the NonStop team
to provide NonStop SQL on the basis of a Database Server (DBS) accessible
through standard database calls from any Linux application. This option is
available today, but available shortly will be the Database Cloud Edition –
another big step towards the transformation of NonStop to be a software play
worthy of as much attention by the industry as has been traditional NonStop
systems.
For NTI this has
contributed significantly to its move to expand its ecosystem of partners. NTI
was the first third-party vendor to deliver a data replication solution, pioneering
the more efficient Change Data Capture (CDC) methodology and one where support
of non-TMF protected files was provided whereby eliminating the need for
additional products. Leveraging data replication to include support of data
integration, distribution and transformation – news that was first announced at
the NonStop Technical Boot Camp back in 2019 further separating DRNet® from its competitors.
The core products
comprising the DRNet® product suite
included DRNet® , DRNet® / Open and DRNet® /Vision are collectively built atop the DRNet® platform – decoupled in order to better meet the growing needs
of enterprises wanting more from the data they create. It is against this
background that adding a partner that brings with it sales and support in
markets previously not as well addressed by NTI is a major step forward for
NTI.
Adding Concerto, as was
announced last month, will ensure “greater presence of the DRNet® product suite in markets not
previously served by NTI. As NTI and Concerto are both HPE Silver Partners,
there is considerable synergy with regards to the way they both embrace the HPE
NonStop product portfolio. With this agreement in place, Concerto will leverage
its extensive expertise in NonStop and Payments whereby businesses relying on
NonStop will be able to capitalize on the benefits provided by DRNet®.”
In addition to the core
products making up the DRNet® product
suite, NTI has turned to partners to provide tools and utilities focused on
adding value to DRNet®. There has
been no better partner relationship than with TANDsoft, where NTI and TANDsoft
have cooperated to ensure even more value can be derived from the DRNet® product suite. TANDsoft’s FileSync,
FS Compare and Repair and FS Backup and Restore all contribute to NTI’s DRNet® product suite’s tools and utilities
offerings.
Perhaps less known is
the presence of NonStop consulting and communications company, Pyalla
Technologies, LLC whose work in support of NTI and the DRNet® product suite has been hard to miss of late. Adding the
presence of consulting companies like Pyalla Technologies to product companies
like TANDsoft and services companies like Concerto is sending a very strong
message to the NonStop community that the DRNet®
product suite is attracting well-known companies into its growing partner
ecosystem.
“The interest in NTI
and the DRNet® product suite among
the NonStop partner community is encouraging,” said Tim Dunne, NTI’s Global
Director Worldwide Sales. “It is very possible that more NonStop partners will
be attracted to NTI in the coming year and as a HPE Silver Partner, NTI
provides leadership when it comes to working with partners all across the
board. In today’s business climate there’s no question that pooling resources
while targeting a common business requirement simply makes a whole lot of
sense.”
NTI has a proven track
record of delivering technologically superior solutions as well as the
experience to make them work for customers. NTI’s commitment to active research
and development ensures the future availability of significant product
enhancements for NTI clients.
