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 the NonStop community this is becoming the message of the day even as we are hearing that there are moves afoot to ensure NonStop is a participant in the most important initiative of all for HPE - GreenLake.

 

For NTI, HPE Discover 2021 also provided additional insights that support its mission. Even as work continues in support of the platform-as-a-service model (PaaS) that HPE is championing with GreenLake, HPE highlighted it’s pursuit of PaaS with two images that aligned with the messaging now being developed by NTI for DRNet®:

 

Our big take away from the HPE event was the prominence of GreenLake in everything HPE did – its new products and platforms were all in support of GreenLake. It will continue to provide an alternate path to building out your data center with your own servers but it is now very much central to everything HPE is funding. Imagine NTI’s surprise that the highlight was the introduction by the GreenLake team of Lighthouse. Imagine too our pleasant surprise to hear GreenLake management talking about Lighthouse as a “unified platform!”

 

If you missed reading the latest post to the June 2021 issue of NonStop Insider, DRNet®/Unified for HPE Customers – It’s all about data and your data will need real time processing you would have missed reading the observation above. GreenLake opens a second option for all enterprises deploying NonStop in support of their mission critical applications.  NTI customers have options already and today these include deploying DRNet® in a traditional manner on-prem or turning to NTI to support DRNet® where the GreenLake platform has been chosen.

 

“Recent news coming out of Australia concerning GreenLake deals that have been negotiated with major banking and retail enterprises, have seen these enterprises choose to go with DRNet®” said  NTI’s Global Director Worldwide Sales, Tim Dunne. “They recognize the value that comes with interacting directly with vendors supporting solutions critical to meeting their business continuity goals.”

 

Enterprise data centers aren’t going anywhere. The cloud experience will continue to grow in importance and having an ability to seamlessly move between data center resources and those provided by cloud service vendors will gain in importance and indeed relevance. When it comes to the important issue of business continuity, it’s not so much a case of having flexibility in provisioning as business continuity isn’t something you turn on and then off again but rather, depend upon as your business continuity solution, running 24 x 7 x 365.

 

Having a direct line of sight with the NonStop vendor providing such a solution will become increasingly important in the future even as HPE unveils further NonStop inclusivity. “Our relationship with our NTI customers is such that no disruption to the way we interact with each other is something that our NonStop customers find extremely beneficial,” said Dunne. “With our branding of the NTI product suite as DRNet® /Unified for HPE Customers we are confirming for the NonStop community that whatever option they chose, with respect to deploying NonStop in the future, we have already made it possible for them to depend upon DRNet®.

  January 21, 2021 - Press Release Effective immediately, NTI and Concerto have entered into a definitive agreement whereby Concerto will sell and support the DR Net ® product suite in markets not previously served by NTI.   As NTI and Concerto are HPE Silver Partners, there is considerable synergy with regards to the way they both embrace the HPE NonStop product portfolio.

Built upon the Change Data Capture (CDC) methodologies that NTI was first to bring to the NonStop marke

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
