Real Time View: April 2015
http://itug-connection.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Independent opinions and commentary for the HP NonStop community. Monday, April 27, 2015. This week we worked on an article for an upcoming May / June, 2015, issue of The Connection magazine – Richard and I chose the title Data ain’t Data – a case for mission-critical data on NonStop. The title came as an analogy to a very successful advertisement campaign when Castrol Oil created the punchline, “Oils ain’t Oils! 8221; See the article to read more about it! All around the world! Made the stunningly obvio...

Independent opinions and commentary for the HP NonStop community. Friday, February 27, 2015. NonStop in the “technology mix” for IT? Sounds reasonable …. Among IT professionals, when discussions turn to hybrids, it’s not just hybrid clouds being talked about but hybrid systems and for the NonStop community, this includes hybrids featuring the latest NonStop X systems …. I recently passed a car with a bumper sticker: “Yes, it’s a hybrid, it burns both gas and rubber! This reference to clouds, and cloud co...

Independent opinions and commentary for the HP NonStop community. Tuesday, July 14, 2015. The long road home …. A brief exchange with another executive led me to reflect on just how far we have come with respect to embracing the newfound modular world of development where developing applications has become more akin to playing with building blocks …. Round and around in the Georgia rain! But wait; one more thing! Assembling new solutions out of the pile of routines and libraries readily available? July 2...

Real Time View: Redundancy! How many NonStop systems needed to bring merriment?
http://itug-connection.blogspot.com/2015/08/redundancy-how-many-nonstop-systems.html
Independent opinions and commentary for the HP NonStop community. Thursday, August 6, 2015. How many NonStop systems needed to bring merriment? HP NonStop systems have embrace industry standards and yet, for many their fault tolerant properties don’t eliminate the need for redundant systems – a lesson learnt from years of experience as nothing can eliminate disasters and just plain bad luck! With places to go and plans in place, the wheels fell off …. Disaster – Recovery (DR) is just as important a...

About to hit the road, literally, for the drive to Las Vegas for this year’s HP Discover event.

But what can we expect to see? 2015 HP Discover will likely be a time f...

Real Time View: We may want to leave a Legacy, but NonStop stands apart!
http://itug-connection.blogspot.com/2015/05/we-may-want-to-leave-legacy-but-nonstop.html
Independent opinions and commentary for the HP NonStop community. Tuesday, May 19, 2015. We may want to leave a Legacy, but NonStop stands apart! With the introduction of brand new NonStop systems – the NonStop X family – distance is being put between the modern NonStop systems of today and any lingering thoughts CIOs may still have about former legacy systems from HP and Compaq. The picture above is just one representation of the vendor ecosystem supporting NonStop and the good news is that there’...
