The Connection

For anyone who has ever ventured into the surf rolling onto a beach, the presence of waves as they fade on the sand is obvious. They just come at you one wave after the other, or so it seems. But avid surfers know that these waves typically come ashore in sets with the first wave foreshadowing much more impressive waves yet to come.

The Connect family wants to recognize and thank Pat Boland for his many years of support and engagement.

It was during my last track outing when a tornado approached. I was giving a ride-along to well-known NonStop salesman, Jim Miller, when the whirlwind approached. Unfamiliar as I was with the forces tornadoes can unleash, I was more curious than anxious.

Real-time data replication products, such as HPE Shadowbase software, are well known for their ability to facilitate IT service availability (Business Continuity) by replicating production data in real-time across multiple systems to create backup database copies. Should one system fail, current, consistent data is available on alternate systems which can take over processing, thereby maintaining service availability. But such products also provide another significant capability: a heterogeneous Data Distribution Fabric Backbone (DDFB), which facilitates data integration.

Red Link is the biggest transactional switch in Argentina, processing transactions from ATMs and digital wallets.

Greenlake is a major HPE strategy. You may have seen the announcement “The cloud that comes to you”, which is essentially Greenlake. Imagine Amazon, Google or Microsoft coming into your data center and building you a mini cloud that they then manage for you. You spin up applications and databases, try new business strategies, run sprints and have all the advantages of the public cloud.

Global growth and opening up of economies will help the payments sector thrive again post-pandemic, but it’s only those with the right infrastructure in place who will be able to seize these opportunities. It’s become a cliche, but the pandemic has accelerated a decade’s worth of change into just a few short years.

Enterprise IT staff are often tasked with updating their hardware and software, upgrading their application and database, installing new operating system versions, and performing system and datacenter migrations.

An important question that is and has been discussed – is there a fundamental limit to computing?

There’s a lot of chatter these days around the virtual water cooler about the Great Check Out!

Enterprise data is rapidly exploding. It’s estimated that 90% of the world’s data was created in the last two years, and this rate is increasing. This explosion of data presents massive business challenges and opportunity.

Getting from point A to point B in a car always seems to be a pretty easy proposition, at least until you’re behind the wheel and moving. On a map, look for the largest road(s) with the greatest bandwidth capacity, which in the US usually means a highway or interstate, and just take that route. If one road meeting this criteria doesn’t exist, then cobble together a series of them following this general pattern (biggest roads with the most capacity), and you’re still good, right?

There have been so many phrases concerning data thrown around in the business press. Data is the new currency of business! Enterprises have become data driven!

Well, we made it. 2021 is finally in the books. The gift of LOG4J and the onslaught of vendor emails made for an eventful end to 2021. Take a minute (and I only mean a minute) to catch your breath before we jump headfirst into 2022. It’s time to look forward to what the cybersecurity landscape will give us this year.

Ever since NonStop took its first steps into the virtualized arena, new and varied opportunities to improve the way customers use and manage the platform have arisen for developers to take advantage of.

Janice Reeder-Highleyman, 69, passed away on January 2, 2022 due to a long illness. She was intensely private and never wanted to talk much about herself. Most of us in the Connect Community had no idea that she was bravely battling Stage IV ovarian cancer.  And, she didn’t want much of a fuss made after her passing.
