Git and ITUGLIB Automation Git is one of those Open Source tools that has taken on a life of its own. Starting as a replacement for the ubiquitous version control system CVS, the goal of the git project was to fundamentally change how we manage code to allow projects of the size and scale of LINUX (or BASE24 for that matter). Because git ... read more

Let’s talk about something that is hot, really hot! Sizzling hot! From the time Gravic first began talking about Sizzling-Hot-Takeover (SZT) Replication Systems it caught our attention.

January was an important time for IR. We held our semi-annual company kick-off events and here in the U.S. it pulled a big crowd from across the many sales groups within IR. Prognosis has come a long way in a relative short time and how many members of the NonStop community are aware of how well our Unified Communications group is ... read more

Every driver knows that when the car approaches a corner there are routines to be followed. Muscle memory kicks in for the most part and we know that depending on the radius of the corner, we will apply the brakes, turn-in, and then as we pass the corner’s apex, accelerate while we track out of the corner. The old adage of slow in, fast ... read more

Last month we opened our article in NonStop Insider with a number of observations concerning all that is new for NonStop. Like many others in the NonStop community we have been surprised by the speed with which NonStop development is executing as much as we have been surprised by the number of options becoming available to the NonStop ... read more

It’s hard to imagine that we are seeing the dawn of NonStop in a box. By this we mean, not in the manner of a traditional data center system but rather, NonStop populating a number of off-the-shelf Intel® x86 servers. Sign a license for vNonStop, access a HPE web site and download the NonStop as per HPE instructions so that you have all ... read more

Perhaps the best way to categorize what has been taking place across social media is to think in terms of “a little new, a little old” as there have been a couple of new conversations started on popular LinkedIn groups even as some older conversations continue to draw comments.
