HPE NonStop Blog

I have been writing numerous posts and commentaries about the vision, strategy and goals of HPE, particularly when it comes to its Mission Critical Server, the NonStop X. It's hard not to see statements of one type or another anut the NonStop server originating with HPE splashed...

I am in full-on preparation for an upcoming webinar I will be delivering jointly, with IR's Jack van Meel. The presentation has been titled, House of Cards: NonStop X & Hybrid Computing and while it's something I am looking forward to, the topic has aroused interest over just...

There's always something exciting in the air when IR throws its semi-annual sales update event. Exciting, because the energy of the participants is palpable and the business results are always upbeat – IR continues to fire on all cylinders. Walking into the meetings I was...

If the need is for IR to ensure that customers and prospects alike know where Prognosis is headed, even as it's recognized company wide that all involved within IR need to know as well, then it's a given that on balance, where these customers and prospects are headed is equally...

If generating buzz about a company or a product is a good thing then creating even bigger buzz has to be a very good thing, and a bigger buzz was obvious to all who participated in this year's IR sales kick-off. Participants not only included all those involved in sales in the...

This past month has proved to be particularly newsworthy, and for many reasons: HP made another acquisition that many consider significant for its cloud computing endeavors, even as Apple shook up the payments processing industry. China's computing industry made itself heard...

There's always something in the air as events season kicks off in earnest. Even as I write this post I know of many have made plans to head to Munich, Germany, for the Connect GTUG - IT Symposium and the turn-out looks to be on track to be better than in previous years.

On March 31, 2015, HP NonStop took the wraps of the first model of the new NonStop X family of products – the NonStop X NS7 X1. On that day, I posted Here comes NonStop X and here's to another decade or two, or four, of NonStop excitement! to the NonStop community blog, Real...

For the past couple of months I have been very much focused on HPE messages looking at HPE's vision, strategy and goals as they pertain to Mission Critical Systems. This is the organization where NonStop systems reside and as we all come to better appreciate where HPE is headed...

In my last post, Servers: Big Data, Clouds and Hybrids are changing landscape but Prognosis sees all, I referenced my imminent departure for Las Vegas where HPE Discover 2016 was being held. Now that I have returned from HPE Discover 2016, I can honestly reiterate that indeed,...

It's been a little over a year since the NonStop community heard the news that HP was adding support for the Intel x86 architecture and now the day has come. It's here with the first model, the HP NonStop X NS7 X1 just announced!

At this time of year for most folks living in the U.S. it's not only a time for celebrating the holidays but also watching as your college football team heads to the playoffs. Newly instigated only a year or so ago, after more than a century debating which team is actually the...

There can be little argument against business enterprises growing concerns with security. Not just security from the perspective of protecting valuable IT resources from physical harm but the more insidious stealth attacks on company and personal information.

When you look at the IT Industry there's a single question many of the major vendors are ducking, for now. Well, perhaps not entirely true, but certainly the subject of some deep soul-searching and it has to do with branding! More specifically, we identify with our major vendor...

Fixing a trajectory has relevance in many fields. Whether it's simply casting a tow line from a tugboat to an oil tanker or simply a shore-man dockside catching the ropes from a docking cruise ship, comprehending trajectories are important as they save time and lead to smoother...

As an unabashed car guy, it's as though I am living at the end of times. Just as today we only have equine enthusiasts lovingly tending to horses and steam engine enthusiasts maintain a few miles of track for the trains they dote on, so too, I suspect, in a short few years real...

IR has been providing value to the NonStop community for more than 25 years. Many people view IR's system and application performance management solution, Prognosis, as the solution of choice for NonStop environments. While we're proud of what we've accomplished, we haven't...

In my last post, When windows open, only the swift make it through, I wrote of how I would be developing a new presentation for an upcoming webinar IR was hosting: NonStopX- The New Goal. It was to be the third webinar (in a series of three) and I was pleased with the audience,...

These past couples of days I have been inundated by webinars and podcasts and while I regularly take perhaps a little more than a cursory look at what's being scheduled, in the past I have been rather selective. But not recently, as the topics being covered were of real interest...

If you have been reviewing the statements from recent Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) presentations made at major vendor events, and have been giving consideration to the ramifications, you will get the sense that HPE is on a tear of late. By this, I mean it is not just talking...

As we start the New Year, there are goals and resolutions that we all hope to achieve. When we asked what is heading the top of their lists, many of our HP NonStop customers talked about HP's release of the first Nonstop systems based on x86 server hardware and the opportunities...
