In this month’s Trends & Wins I am very happy to be reporting a win. This is a message that was sent by Neil Davis regarding a major Bank upgrade/migration.

“Last year one of our largest banking customers, who rely on HPE Nonstop to run their core retail and mobile banking applications, reaffirmed its long-term commitment to Nonstop

The New Privacy Paradox CIOs Are Facing: And it’s running on your enterprise infrastructure.

AI continues to be at the center of every conversation, as reflected in recent events such as GTUG in Germany or N2TUG in Dallas, Texas. There is growing pressure from CEOs for IT teams to identify and leverage AI capabilities wherever possible. Yet the elephant in the room

How fast can you judge a book by its cover?
How long would it take to truly understand a million-page epic — and then accurately predict the next volume in the series?
Traditional Nonstop monitoring tools only scratch the surface. They watch CPUs, processes, programs, and a handful of files — essentially reading just the cover and a few random pages.

The Nonstop Community has never been one to pass on a major conference or event. When it came time for Munich, Germany, to play host for E-GTUG – European Nonstop Symposium 2026, the community turned up in numbers that proved reassuring to all supporters of HPE Nonstop.

We had a well received event with good feedback from Nonstop customers. We had 27 individual participants. Of these 13 were end users representing four financial sector companies, one consulting company, and one individual consultant.

Artificial Intelligence is often discussed in extremes: either as a revolutionary force that will replace software engineers or as an overhyped technology with little practical value in serious enterprise environments. For HPE NonStop systems, neither position is useful.

As AI workloads, large-scale simulations, and high-performance computing (HPC) continue to evolve, the demand for efficient GPU utilization has skyrocketed. While powerful hardware is essential, software optimization methods often determine how effectively that hardware performs.

Protecting Data Everywhere

Data is one of the most valuable assets in any organization, and its protection goes far beyond defending against external threats. While encryption is often the first line of defense, Shadowbase solutions extend that protection across the entire data replication process.

Conferences, symposiums and events dominated the calendars of the Nonstop community. As a global community that it focused on all things Nonstop, it’s hard to avoid one gathering or another wherever you happen to be – from Sydney, to Mexico City, to London and New York and yes, to Munich and Dallas.

The conversation about AI in enterprise environments has matured past the “should we?” phase. The harder question now is how – and in mission-critical environments like HPE Nonstop, how you answer that question matters enormously.

When it comes to radical change that alters the course of history, it was left to Scottish inventor, James Watt, to turn an idea into something more practical, a device that would significantly alter the path of history. While the invention of the steam train was still in its infancy, struggling to attract universal acceptance (as a mode of transportation), it was
