On May 2nd, N2TUG’s members came together for our 2024 meeting.  This year, the larger community of NonStop is celebrating 50 years since Tandem Computers first formed to create the NonStop platform, and we took the opportunity to celebrate!  Our theme was “Golden: 50 Years of NonStop.”

HPE hosted the MATUG meeting on May 14 in their offices in the Reston Town Center, Virginia. The day began and ended with two interesting HPE presentations: John Vollers (Solution Architect) presented HPE Strategy and NonStop Roadmap, and John Zimsky (Master Engineer) presented Deploying REST Applications to NonStop.

The recent MexTUG event was a resounding success, attracting a record number of attendees and surpassing previous years’ achievements as HPE NonStop leaders, experts, and enthusiasts gathered to discuss the latest trends, technologies, and best practices in the industry.

The solution employs a market-leading, block-level hashing technology that delivers breakthrough speed and scalability.

Traditionally, NonStop Products on Guardian OS had the best-in-class manageability features, with each product having subsystem plugins for SCF, Measure, etc. ​As NonStop started supporting open-source software, there has been a proliferation of manageability functions and interfaces, as each open-source software comes with its own manageability functions and interfaces. Today there is a bouquet of products offered under NonStop Manageability.

Change is as constant as the days of summer are long. For the HPE NonStop community, a new era of change looms as the NonStop product takes on the challenges faced today by all major enterprises.

Most banking applications are built on earlier architectures and technologies and pose significant security challenges, especially under the new Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards 4.0 (PCI DSS). These applications face greater risk due to coding practices at development time and the absence of modern security features like Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Enhancing these applications with MFA is a necessity to protect against unauthorized access and data breaches.
