Dr. Bruce Holenstein of Gravic, Inc. shared this remembrance: My brother, Paul, and I began consulting for Dr. Bill’s company called Sombers after our mom, Pat, started chatting with Dr. Bill’s spouse at a high school lacrosse game in 1980. Dr. Bill’s

On May 6 th , N2TUG’s members came together for our 2026 meeting. As this year is the 250 th Anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence, and that just happens to coincide with the 50 th Anniversary of the first Nonstop

CTUG is Canada’s leading conference for the HPE Nonstop community and a key event for customers and partners. Held on June 3rd at the HPE office in Mississauga, Ontario, the 2026 Canadian Tandem User Group conference featured a day full of excellent

Few communities understand the value of “always on” better than this one. For half a century, the people who read The Connection have built, run, and trusted systems that simply do not stop: the mission-critical backbone of banking, payments, and commerce. That

As the enterprise security landscape rapidly evolves, NuWave Technologies is bringing a critical conversation to the forefront at TBC 2026 in Orlando . In a recent article, “ Modern Certificate Lifecycle Automation Comes to HPE Nonstop Software ,” NuWave outlines a major

The payments landscape is evolving at breakneck speed. Real-time rails like those from India: NCPI/UPI, Europe: Wero, USA: Stripe, XRP Ledger integrations, and blockchain-based settlement are no longer future concepts — they are operational realities reshaping customer expectations and competitive dynamics. For

McKinsey & Company recently described successful AI adoption as “transformation, not automation,” emphasizing that the real value of AI comes from redesigning workflows rather than simply adding AI tools on top of existing processes. That distinction matters enormously in the Nonstop community.

How Shadowbase Zero Downtime Migration Keeps Mission-Critical Systems Running Through Complex Modernization Shadowbase Zero Downtime Migration (ZDM) Solutions for HPE Nonstop Software Every major infrastructure migration carries the same fear: what if something goes wrong mid-cutover and the system goes dark? For

You’ve completed your HPE Nonstop vulnerability scan. Now what? Finding vulnerabilities is only the first step. The real value comes from what happens next. A vulnerability report isn’t a checklist. It’s information that helps you make better security decisions. Here are five

Modernization continues to be an important talking point among Nonstop community members. IT professionals may not be able to recall exactly when this topic was elevated to become the most important criteria for product selection, but history reflects such a reality. Be

Scottish pragmatism runs deep. The typical Scotsman is averse to the trivial and to the speculative so much so that the more focused a Scotsman might be, the greater their perceived value. It was a Scotsman that invented the steam engine and

In the last few articles, we’ve looked at how AI systems can be connected to HPE Nonstop environments, why Nonstop is unusually well placed to participate in AI-driven workflows, and what kinds of practical use cases become possible once that connection exists.

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.

In recent months, TANDsoft has achieved some significant results, including delivering a new release to the company’s flagship solution, netting new customer wins, and making breakthrough performance gains.

Read on to learn more about the solution, the latest enhancements, and recent customer successes.

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

Beyond the presentations, what truly distinguishes MexTUG is its role as a living, evolving community. More than a technical forum, it is a space where customers, partners, and experts come together to exchange experiences, discuss challenges, and share best practices in an open and collaborative environment.

As AI moves from research curiosity to enterprise imperative, HPE Nonstop users face a critical challenge: how to integrate with AI without compromising system integrity. This article explores how the new Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Infrasoft’s uLinga Nexus are bridging this gap, providing a secure, standards-based gateway that allows AI agents to interact with mission-critical systems in real-time.
