Riding the interstate system back to Boulder, Colorado, after attending events on the east coast may be the last time this season that I get time to enjoy the coming of fall from many different perspectives as I pass through maples that will shortly turn red and then beech and...

These past few weeks I have been embroiled in numerous conversations about the direction being taken by automation. Whether it's a factory production line, a farm or even related to planes and cars, automation seems to be at the fore of most predictions about the likely future...

Baseball legend Yogi Berra was always capable of reeling off quotes that stunned his audiences. Perhaps no more so than when he made references to the future proclaiming as he did on one occasion of how, "It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future." He also was...

Over the past few weeks I have been involved in delivering a number of webinars and, hopefully, in the New Year, there will be further sessions developed. What I like about webinars is their intimacy with the audience – in this case, the well-informed NonStop community – and the...

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...
