Month: September 2026

Nonstop provided the opportunity, but people made it all worthwhile. And I wouldn’t change a thing. I am grateful for the challenges, the friendships, and the privilege of spending four decades working with one of the most reliable and innovative technology platforms in the industry

Members of the New to Nonstop (N2NS) Committee reflect on TBC 2026 — the sessions, conversations, and moments that stood out, and why the conference remains a vital event for the next generation of Nonstop professionals.

Your recovery system is online. Replication is running, and the target database appears to be caught up. If production becomes unavailable, how do you know the data on that system is ready to support the business? Independent validation provides that assurance by proving the source and target databases match, exposing hidden discrepancies before a failover, migration, or downstream application turns them into a business-critical crisis.

XYGATE Aegis Scan gives HPE Nonstop customers a way to identify Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), determine remediation measures, and bring those findings into the security processes already used across the organization.

Managing releases has become increasingly complex as audit obligations and operational complexity continue to grow. Running full regression cycles across entire legacy applications is often impractical, and funding for comprehensive test automation is difficult to secure. As a result, teams need a reliable way to release small subsets of components selectively, execute partial installation scripts, and preserve evidence of origin for long-term audit history.

Modernization doesn’t have to mean replacing the systems that already work. Organizations can instead focus on the connections and processes surrounding the core—introducing APIs, automation, and modern standards while preserving existing applications and investments.

In business, what makes technical companies successful, is their ability to understand directions, goals and the necessity for discipline and teamwork. In confidence the managers will tell you that their company is a source of joy in that their success has come about because of the company’s understanding of what its employees can do, and how well they can perform given tasks. Perhaps most important of all, it comes down to leadership ensuring there is clarity behind every decision taken.

Your dashboard says your GPUs are busy. Your training pipeline may tell a different story. Many teams trust allocation numbers. If a cluster shows 90% or 95% allocation, it looks efficient. However, allocation only shows which GPUs were reserved. It does not show whether those GPUs performed useful compute work. To understand real efficiency, teams need to separate two metrics: GPU allocation and GPU utilization.
