For those who attended the recent Discover conference in Las Vegas, we trust the event was informative. As always, a great forum for learning new things, meeting friends and colleagues, networking, sharing insights on developments with NonStop and in the community, etc. From a NonStop specific perspective, while the sessions and exhibits were very good, the evening social events were especially popular.

In conjunction with this, CAIL exhibited at Discover to highlight an " Enterprise Client Solution " enables NonStop to be more integral in the enterprise and included in a Corporate Standard.

Being part of the Corporate Standard is an important strategy to enable NonStop to contribute to the significant benefits associated with -

A. Supporting Enterprise initiatives pertaining to - addressing new business needs , System Modernization , Compliance , Security , Mobile , etc.

B. Leveraging current IT infrastructure to - evolve information services, expand services, deliver a better User experience, etc.

.... by utilizing information from "all" or "selected" platforms to address new requirements, facilitate a Windows 7 rollout, support a new corporate strategy, etc.

D. Realizing significant savings, increasing productivity and business efficiencies, simplifying systems, reducing costs, etc.

Musings on NonStop!

June, ‘12

The opinions expressed here are solely
those of the now self-employed author

It is now late June and all that transpired in Las Vegas at HP Discover 2012 has become just a distant memory for many of us. This time what happened in Vegas did not stay there, it has certainly shown up in many commentaries and posts as what was presented continues to be dissected and analyzed by all of us with an interest in HP.

Nowhere is this more apparent than when you read the discussions enveloping the NonStop community worldwide – from the first major keynote given by HP CEO, Meg Whitman, NonStop was given a lot of visibility. Of her first three marketplace examples, Financial Services, Mobile Phone Communications and Healthcare – it was a case of two out of three (or even three out of three, depending upon who you talked to) pulling from traditional NonStop strongholds. And the upbeat story of NonStop continued in subsequent presentations from Dave Donatelli as well as when Martin Fink gave us an update on Project Odyssey.

At a time when some of us are still a little unclear about the value of Clouds, when it comes to their applicability with applications running on NonStop, representatives of Bank of America (B of A) gave a presentation about what they were doing, as a longstanding supporter of BASE24, with Clouds. “Two scenarios were tested, one where the load was shared between all three nodes (NonStop-A, NonStop-B and Linux-A); the other where the load was “bursted” to each of the other nodes, as the load dictated, and where change merely required the reconfiguration of TS/MP ACS,” was how one participant working closely with the bank described it.

“In essence they fired off transactions through BASE24 that did look ups on an SQL database. When the load got to a certain predefined point they then launched through PCS another server on a different system and then when the next point was reached they offloaded it to a Linux server all handled by PCS,” was how one participant of the B of A presentation described it. “It was pretty basic stuff but they showed what happened under load and did manage to get quite good transaction throughput.”

Which brings me back to one thing I overheard at the event – “if it is of interest and works for B of A, then it has to be something everyone using NonStop needs to consider.” And that is the real value I always associate with events like HP Discover, there’s always something new being done by more progressive users about which you may have heard nothing if you hadn’t been present. It’s also the same thing for vendors – with twelve solutions vendors present on the exhibition floor, facing each other, it was hard to miss how many sidebar conversations were taking place among participants occupying adjacent booths.

Catching up with Attunity Vice President, Business Development and Corporate Strategy, Itamar Ankorion, he told me of how “my first impression was just how comprehensive this event appeared to be, bringing together everything from business critical systems to cloud computing.” But even as the size of the event, particularly when you came across the exhibition hall and the room set up for the general sessions, the opportunity to meet with HP people wasn’t lost on Ankorion either. “It was great to see how accessible HP NED executives proved to be, listening to customers and partners. Having the opportunity to sit down with them to discuss customer needs and how we can address them together was very valuable”

With the message coming from HP of “Make it Matter” it was very important for Attunity, Ankorion was to tell me later in the day, “to ensure that HP Business Critical Systems (BCS) was fully aware of just how aligned with the products of BCS Attunity had become and with Clouds, Big Data and Converged Infrastructure being so visibly promoted, making Attunity matter within the HP user community was now a priority.” With so much information being presented and so many products being demonstrated, there would always be choices and for Ankorion it was important to make sure Attunity would be a part of the HP community’s “must have” list as the event drew to a close.

In my musings last month I closed with the observation of how CIOs will always welcome choice and are always checking to make sure they have options – lock-in technologies and solutions rarely have long term future. I also made reference that for any platform to attract multiple, competing, solutions is a clear sign that there are parties having faith in the longevity of the server.

Fresh from HP Discover, and with only a week or two to mull over all that I witnessed, perhaps it was the words of HP’s Dave Donatelli that left the biggest impression – yes, he was talking about Clouds and the commitment of HP to open standards, but he did remark on how “for others promoting clouds, it’s (somewhat) dictatorial (depending upon) lock-in architectures. As for HP, everything is being built to open standards (where you) can move at will – we will be good enough to earn your business!”

Yes, choice is important and coming away from HP Discover, it’s not an altogether surprising take-away, as after all, for the NonStop community where running mission-critical applications has become a way of life for decades, it was by choice we came to NonStop and it’s through choice we continue to enjoy the benefits of NonStop’s fundamentals!

Top Ten US Retailer Uses Shadowbase Streams™ for Major Data Integration Project

One of the ten largest US retailers (with over 4,000 locations) is now using Shadowbase Streams to integrate its receipt return tables on an HP NonStop BASE24™ database with an Oracle database running on Linux. Initially, only the NonStop application/database is actively being updated, and replication is one-way. Soon, the AJB-based Linux/Oracle application and database will come on-line and be active and the entire complex will run as an active/active distributed heterogeneous application environment. When running in an active/active mode, data collisions need to be identified and resolved, a task well-suited to Shadowbase’s extensible replication architecture.

The Linux system is a RAC (clustered) environment, and Shadowbase Streams is being installed to take advantage of that configuration. Shadowbase Streams will also handle the necessary data transformation and encryption. Shadowbase Streams for data integration and application integration provides the facilities for integrating existing applications, services, or database environments in order to create new functionality for the enterprise, typically without the need to modify existing application code.

Customer Attendance and Venue at HP Discover Impressive

The Gravic team was very impressed by the attendance and venue at HP Discover 2012 in Las Vegas. This year the event was definitely well-attended by customers (especially NonStop customers), HP NED execs and solution architects, and the ISV community. We had a great NonStop-specific partner area, with nice traffic flow and an energetic crowd as we were co-located with the NED Mission Critical booths. Kathy Wood of Blackwood Systems also did an outstanding job organizing the well-attended NonStop ISV Customer Appreciation Party, with Xypro providing the badging muscle to keep the event focused on NonStop-centric customers and HP personnel. There were over 40 NonStop-specific technical and business presentations, and some rather informative general sessions on topics ranging from HP’s overall focus (roughly paraphrased as “make everything you do matter”) to the legal situation with Oracle, to the Intel chip roadmap, to the hilarious (but certainly offensive) signs Oracle posted on the cabs (remember the “cash for clunkers” ads that ran in the WSJ?). Click here for show photos.

We had some great meetings with existing as well as potential customers, and even had a Venus-transit-across-the-sun viewing for those interested in exciting astronomical events. Much of our focus these days is on enabling replication users to break free from the chains of their existing (competitor) yokes. For those users suffering with breathtaking price increases and painful support experiences, we are providing strong incentives to look at Gravic/Shadowbase as a replacement solution. We’d certainly welcome discussing your needs with you, please contact us at +1 610-647-6250 or SBProductManagement@gravic.com to discuss your specific situation and to learn more about the solutions we offer.

HP Discover 2012 – Whatever’s happening in Vegas, it’s NonStop

I’ve just returned from HP’s biggest user event for the year, Discover 2012.

As we from the NonStop crowd have come to expect, this years’ conference was large and impressive – similar to what we’ve seen in previous years.

I for one was pleasantly surprised with the conference layout this year. There’s no getting around the fact that, as a conference hosting towards 15,000 people, there’s going to be some significant distances (and crowds!) involved, but this year it seemed easier to find what you were looking for, with other things like registration and meals handled better than previously.

One standout improvement was the location of the NonStop partners – we had our own signposted area, co-located with the HP NonStop group, which meant much less traipsing back and forth to engage with our HP colleagues.

Read the complete Blog at: http://blog.xypro.com/

Application Rationalization: What to modernize first?

If you are modernizing NonStop applications, an early requirement is to decide what should be modernized. Some evaluation of your application portfolio must take place. You will need to decide which application suites will provide the greatest benefit and/or cost relief from modernization. The process of evaluating the costs vs. benefits of your application portfolio is called “Application Rationalization”. The “application facts” should be gathered and assembled impartially, but the results will need discussion and a meeting of the minds. Invariably, application suites have their champions, and a facilitated workshop is an excellent vehicle for preparing a modernization project charter, and prioritized list of application suites for modernization.

This is part of a blog and whitepaper series for the NonStop user community, focused on software development risk avoidance and quality improvement.

Stuart Selip has previously worked as the VP of Application Platform Strategies Research service at Burton Group, an IT Research and Advisory firm now owned by Gartner Research. He has also served as Technology Officer and Chief Architect of IT Consulting International (ITCI), a US-Russian software development-outsourcing firm later acquired by Luxoft.

Availability Digest Explores a Major Bank’s Decision to Replace BASE24 with Opsol’s OmniPayments

One of the largest banks in the United States recently moved its debit/credit-card authorization network, running on HP NonStop servers, from ACI’s BASE24 to Opsol Integrator’s OmniPayments financial-transaction authorization system. The move addressed two of the bank’s goals. First, it allowed the bank to keep its highly available NonStop servers in operation following ACI’s announcement that it would ‘sunset’ BASE24 on NonStop. Second, it allowed the bank to save millions of dollars in licensing costs. The June issue of the Availability Digest explores the bank’s decision to move off BASE24 and the follow-up ease of migration to OmniPayments.

Also in this month’s Digest:

First Stuxnet – Now the Flame Virus investigates this new cyber-warfare malware that serves as an extraordinarily sophisticated surveillance tool for use in espionage efforts against targeted systems. Flame is not designed to do physical damage, yet its architecture allows it to easily be extended to embrace Stuxnet-like destructive capabilities. Surprisingly undetectable in many instances, Flame is massive and comprises about 20 MB of code. Once Flame has acquired the information it needs from an infected system, the virus deletes itself and moves on to the next targeted computer.

Recovery-as-a-Service (RaaS) examines HP’s cloud-based continuity services, a flexible, easy- to-schedule continuity solution with predictable costs and with no upfront capital expense.

FalconStor RecoverTrac – A companion article to “Recovery-as-a-Service,” this product review describes RecoverTrac as a completely automated recovery solution for Windows and Linux platforms. It can provide recovery times measured as just one or a few hours with data loss measured in minutes.

The Availability Digest offers one-day and multi-day seminars on High Availability: Concepts and Practices. Seminars are given both onsite and online and are tailored to an organization’s specific needs. We also offer technical and marketing writing services and are adept at a wide variety of content creation.

Opsol’s Yash and Janette Share a $1,000 Prize from TANDsoft

It may have been Yash Kapadia’s winning ticket, but Janette Rosales did all the ticket scratching. Thus, these two senior members of Opsol Integrators decided to share equally in the $1,000 prize they won from TANDsoft, Inc., at the recent HP Discover conference.

Yash and Janette weren’t the only winners at HP Discover. The 200+ attendees at the NonStop Community Reception benefited from meeting others with common interests and shared history. As one of the twenty-one reception sponsors, TANDsoft discovered that the extra exposure generated overseas interest in the TMF-Audit Toolkit and Command Stream Replicator solutions as well as in FileSync, a TANDsoft flagship product.

The TMF-Audit Toolkit easily converts non-audited TMF files to audited TMF files. Its embedded Toolkit Trace captures and analyzes Enscribe activity to construct TMF transaction boundaries for custom applications. Like its companion product, the Enscribe-2-SQL Toolkit, the TMF-Audit Toolkit reduces the pressures of modernization by offering flexible, affordable alternatives to more expensive conversion products or manual conversion techniques.

Command Stream Replicator (CSR) automatically replicates FUP, SQL/MP and SQL/MX DDL structure and other environment changes to target systems – changes and settings that normally are not replicated because they sit outside the TMF Audit Trail.

FileSync automatically monitors, replicates and synchronizes source files, program environments, application environments, configuration files, programs – anything non-database that needs to be kept current across the network. Use FileSync for disaster recovery, system migrations, upgrades, and backups. Version 2.1 supports qualified expressions and referential integrity as well as the synchronization of SQL/MX catalogues, schemas, tables, partitions, and indices. In addition, Version 2.1 supports the SQL/MX filter and the recently released SQL/MX 3.1.

TANDsoft’s “best of breed, best in price” philosophy offers highly competitive value for all TANDsoft solutions. The company also provides the Enscribe-2-SQL Toolkit, which supports both SQL/MP and SQL/MX and permits file-by-file incremental migration. OPTA2000, a virtual clock and time-zone simulator, uses intercept technology to allow multiple applications operating in a consolidated environment to each have its own virtual system clock or to function in its own virtual time zone with date/time specifications that are different than that of the system clock.

TANDsoft products require no application source-code modifications and are available for all HP NonStop servers. Free trials are available.

TANDsoft already has secured its spot in the Partner Pavilion at the NonStop Advanced Technical Boot Camp, to be held in San Jose, California, USA, on October 14-16, 2012. In the meantime, for more information about TANDsoft’s product suite, contact Jack Di Giacomo at +1 (514) 695-2234. Our Enscribe to SQL Migration Forum on LinkedIn is at 125 members and counting. www.tandsoft.com.
