According to recent articles on the HR Exchange Network website by Michael Arena, the former Vice President of Talent Management & Development at Amazon Web Services (AWS), research has shown that though ‘Bonding Connections’ held  up pretty well through the pandemic and the ongoing transition to more permanent hybrid work, ‘bridging connections’ have nose dived.

A few weeks ago, I received an email from a northern California dog rescue organization letting me know that there were a number of Bernese Mountain Dogs, rescued from an Ohio puppy mill, who needed ‘forever’ homes.

Many organizations have a cloud migration strategy for their mission-critical workloads to offer flexibility, scalability, and business continuity. There are many reasons for migrating to the cloud.

As mentioned in my last post, Cloud was the big topic for the 2022 NonStop Technical Boot Camp.

Already one month into 2023, and we’re at full speed creating new amazing NonStop products, features, and services for our existing and new customers.

We hope 2023 brings all of us in the HPE NonStop community continued health and tremendous success. In this article, we give a brief overview and major headline updates on HPE Shadowbase software and what was new this past year.

With the emergence of ChatGPT and other AI tools in 2022, we are seeing the impact these tools can have on individual job roles and entire industries. While AI has not entered into the NonStop space just yet, it is still something we as technologists and self-proclaimed nerds are watching from a distance.

Happy 2023 Connect Community members. As the new President of Connect, I wanted to extend my thanks to Marty Edelman, who you have been reading his ‘Note from the Connect Leadership’ in the magazine for the last few years.

Cloud computing is driving a new post-pandemic wave of digital transformation across the globe. Gartner forecasts spending on related services will reach nearly $600bn in 2023, resulting in a 21% year-on-year increase.

Many financial services companies are operating on technology stacks that aren’t up to the challenge of today’s market. Incredibly, some banks are operationally dependent on technology that was installed in the ’70s or ’80s.

HPE Virtualized NonStop (vNS) systems deployed in private VMware clouds have elicited positive feedback on performance, availability, and seamless application migration from traditional converged NonStop servers.

NTI has been doing business with the NonStop community for almost four decades. It achieved an initial breakthrough with the

Another year has gone by in the blink of an eye, and what a year it was.

The 2022 NonStop Technical Boot Camp marked the return to an in-person event, and it did not disappoint.

The 2022 NonStop Technical Boot Camp was held “live” at the Hyatt Regency SFO in Burlingame, California. It was very nice to see people face to face and shake hands after the past two years. Even though I caught a cold, it was well worth it.

In February 1984, just a few weeks after the Apple Macintosh launch, I packed my bags, gave family and friends a big hug, and headed off to Silicon Valley to seek ‘fame and fortune.’ Fast-forward nearly 40 years, and though ‘fame and fortune’ were illusive, my eight years working with NonStop, at Tandem Computers during part of its heyday, affected me profoundly in a number of ways.

I wasn’t really sure what to expect for my first participation in NonStop TBC. The event was the first in-person TBC since 2019 and my first in-person conference in nearly 5 years. But I was excited for several reasons.

After a three-year long hiatus, the TBC reemerged on November 8-10 at the Hyatt Regency SFO in downtown Burlingame, California. The event was the first in-person opportunity in a long time for many attendees; there were also quite a few first-time attendees. Both are very encouraging developments. It seems that the world is slowly starting to open up and folks are getting more comfortable traveling. Gradually, things are resetting “back to normal” after the pandemic.

We had a wonderful time catching up with old friends and meeting new ones IN PERSON at the Hyatt Regency SFO in Burlingame, California.  Here are the highlights.

With his opening words, “It’s not where we are headed but how fast we will get there,” the boss of all things NonStop, Jeff Kyle, set the tone for the latest NonStop Technical Boot Camp (NonStop TBC 22). “We are a platform and not a server; the platform we are perfecting for mission critical applications. We create the data and we transact the data!”

Cloud computing saved many organizations during the pandemic as they rapidly recalibrated to support mass home working and reach more

As we approach the holiday season and start decking the halls, we at NuWave, like many of you, like to reflect on the past twelve months. 2022 has been a bittersweet year for us. Looking back, there were so very many highlights and a lot to be proud of. However, there were also some sad times, including the loss of our founder and co-owner, Ernie Guerrera, as well as Karen Copeland, a guiding light in the HPE NonStop space.
