NTI continues to grow ecosystem of partners to better serve NonStop community

 


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.

DRNet®/Unified for HPE Customers; On-Prem and “as a service,” NTI delivers!

HPE Discover 2021 may already be a distant memory for some but the messages that were coming out of the event will be resonating with the industry for quite some time. Looking beyond the “age of insight” and even HPE becoming “a world leading edge to cloud platform as a service company,” it is now very much a case of HPE bringing the cloud experience to the enterprise.   Not surprisingly, the byline for this story is the bigger message that the enterprise data center will be with us for a long time. This isn’t to say that cloud service providers will not be making their presence felt in these same data centers, one way or the other, but rather recent events have further reinforced the value proposition of being your own IT master.   With the cloud experience coming to a data center near you, enterprises can benefit from the best of both worlds. The security and robustness from on-prem computing together with all the flexibility that comes with cloud experiences. For th...

DRNet®/Unified for HPE; aligned with HPE messaging for 2021

  Sometimes you can be fortuitous in your planning and even lucky with your messaging. Then again, you might be able to put it down to the interactions between team members that drive conversations to where ideas flourish and images take shape in your mind. For much of 2021 the NTI team has been engaged in such processes and it has led to a reimagining of how best to present the DR Net ® product suite while complementing earlier messaging with a number of modern touches.   Where our conversations led us was to an appreciation of safety, of reduced risks and of having confidence in your partner! Whether it was the Americas’ Cup yacht races in New Zealand or simply a trip to the coast to watch other sailboats, the idea of reduced risk brought to the fore the images of a safe haven and a bay with a lighthouse. For many vendors, even those we may be familiar with and have served the NonStop community well for a long time, images of lighthouses have been a good way to project ...
