HPE Greenlake

Several years ago, we first announced the “blazing-fast” technology featured in our solutions, specifically FS Compare and Repair and FS Backup and Restore. In fact, we made our first big announcement at the HPE NonStop Virtual User Group event (VIRTU-NUG) that took place in 2020. FS Compare and Repair offers fast, advanced capabilities to ensure your nodes are kept in sync at all times. The solution employs a market-leading, block-level hashing technology that delivers breakthrough speed and scalability.

2024 is the year we get to celebrate 50 years of NonStop! While many platforms have appeared and disappeared over that period of time, NonStop has only grown stronger, building on an initial design that was simply visionary and, over the years, never taking anything for granted, adapting to industry changes while keeping NonStop fundamentals preserved…

I had lofty goals when I came to Grossmont Union High School District (GUHSD). I told the superintendent that I

I am curious by nature. I like to know as much as possible about something before I talk about it

I’ve always been impressed by the tight-knit community surrounding the HPE NonStop platform

A large Global Company and NonStop customer emerged from a restructuring initiative led by new investors to increase profitability and cash flow, along with streamlining assets. There was also new services and partnerships to be considered in their planning process.

Gartner has started talking about a new ‘stalking horse’ called the Digital Immune System (DIS). In fact they say “By 2025, organizations that invest in building digital immunity will increase customer satisfaction by decreasing downtime by 80%.” As you might imagine when a NonStop person hears about ‘reducing downtime’ and ‘increasing customer satisfaction’ our ears perk up.

As you all may know, HPE is on a fiscal year which starts Nov 1 each year.  Traditionally NonStop usually has a great 4th quarter and the pattern is a soft First Quarter.  It’s not written in stone but falls into the general pattern for as long as I can remember. 

For the better part of the past two centuries, there is barely a time when modernization isn’t the subject of conversation. Attend any gallery opening, any new musical or any open house and very quickly the conversation turns to whether or not the item represents modernism. In other words, is it an indicator of things to come or is it just more of the same.

IceFire is standard-fare ransomware.  It is a kind known as ‘big-game hunting’ (BGH) ransomware.  What is BGH ransomware? It is a kind of ransomware that is characterized by a double extortion model that targets large enterprises, using numerous persistence mechanisms.  It is very hard to detect since it covers it tracks by deleting log files.

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

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.

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!”

Back in June, a few of us were able to enjoy again the value of a face-to-face event at HPE Discover 2022. It was a good opportunity to find out what we are offering under the HPE GreenLake umbrella and knowing so, start to reflect on what’s in it for us in the NonStop community.

You did everything right. But… despite well-documented ITSM Security Policies, enforced user training, and expensive tools, the worst has happened.

HPE Virtualized NonStop started as just a concept and challenge to the NonStop development team. Andy Bergholz, if you remember him, had sent the team off for some virtualization training and just asked “Could NonStop be virtualized”? “No”, “Never” “Of course not” “Why”? But then, as Andy suspected, there started a lot of “Well, what if…” conversations and in just a little while they had booted NonStop under OpenStack. That’s the way great leaders get things done

Can you believe it? Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) will be holding its first major in-person conference since 2019 in just over a month! HPE Discover 2022, the edge-to-cloud conference, will be held in Las Vegas at the Venetian/Palazzo Resort from June 28-30th. The HPE Developer Community team is really excited to be able to engage with attendees in person once again. Make sure you register soon so you don’t miss out!
