NTI: Pioneers do it first!

 


For anyone living west of the mighty Mississippi River, signs from pioneering times exist almost everywhere you turn. The wagon ruts left behind by the wheels of many wagon trains that headed to California and Oregon are still visible on grassy fields. Being first to lay claim to the richness of those faraway lands was the prize these pioneers sought with every journey they took. You don’t have to live in the US to view such markers, as early settlers in Australia likewise turned to pioneers to break out from coastal living and cross the great divide.

The Zig Zag railway line, pictured above, that followed those early pioneering explorers to the west of Sydney is a clear reminder of the difficulties that arise as natural barriers are overcome. So named Zig Zag as the railway line crisscrossed the mountainside when passing over the country’s Blue Mountains. Rivers, mountains and even the oceans that surround us have all proved challenging at some point and when it comes to our IT infrastructure, it was NonStop that rose to the challenge of creating a fault tolerant system but it was the NonStop vendor community that created solutions addressing disaster tolerance.

This was the theme of the latest article published in the March issue of NonStop Insider, Leadership, experience, ecosystems – being first has many benefits for NTI. When it comes to pioneering and being first what typically follows is the accumulation of experience that aids enormously in meeting the needs of the future. It is with experience that leadership develops and with leadership comes innovation and creativity that is highly prized within the NonStop community.

With as much talk as there is today about clouds and the cloud experience, NTI is uniquely positioned to provide solutions in support of both High Availability and Disaster Recovery based on the Change Data Capture (CDC) methodologies that NTI pioneered nearly forty years ago:

NTI has a story that is often overlooked, but is one that can be expressed quite simply, no hyperbole or grandiose prose needed. When it comes to data replication, NTI was the first NonStop vendor to market even as it pioneered the use of Change Data Capture methodologies that supported TMF and non-TMF protected database and files to be replicated. One product, one technology giving us one all-inclusive solution!

However, it’s more than just a story that needs to be shared. It’s the value that comes with gaining experience over time to where NTI can provide the level of expertise and support the NonStop user community requires. It is this experience too that warrants a further look at the many achievements of NTI that assures customers and prospects alike that wherever their own journey takes them, NTI has been there before and overcome the many barriers that challenge even the most experienced NonStop user:

But what does being first really mean? For the NonStop community, what is significant about being a pioneer? It’s very easy for our industry to champion slogans like “We are the best” or “We are the biggest” or even “We are the oldest”, but there can only ever be one first. NTI through its pioneering efforts was first in the marketplace with data replication.

“Clarity of message is just so important these days,” said Tim Dunne, NTI’s Global Director Worldwide Sales. “With as much background noise that we all are subject to it is good to know that NTI maintains a global presence across the NonStop community that continues to grow.

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 ...

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 DR Net ® 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 DR Net ® 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...
