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®.

Data is King: What NonStop Mission-Critical Applications Can Learn from Formula 1

“Getting through the mountains of data generated in Formula 1 can be a ‘needle in a haystack’ process for teams searching for performance ... In a sporting series as technologically cutting-edge as Formula 1, data has become king.” For the NonStop community, this is throwing a spotlight on transaction processing in new ways. For every transaction initiated at a retailer, for instance, there is a need to know more about that end user (buying the product or service) in order to immediately up-sell something else. The time you have a customer in front of you can be very short, so retailers know the importance of leveraging those few minutes. This is leading to a greater demand for data integration; retailers are looking to integrate analytics with transaction processing in real time. Yes, data integration! And data integration is how meaningful information is created ... Of course we are all familiar with the need to ensure data is never lost or taken offline for any reason. W...

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...
