Shadowbase Software Enables Cloud Architectures
& We Look Forward to eGTUG

The Importance of Cloud Article

Gravic recently published the article: The Importance of Cloud, Array-based Processing Support, and Announcing Shadowbase Solutions for Other Server Software Version 6.820 in the January – February issue of The Connection.  The article highlighted the increasing demand for fast, reliable data streaming across the enterprise due to enterprises moving workloads to hybrid and cloud environments.  Cloud-hosted databases often introduce higher latency than local systems, slowing traditional row-at-a-time replication and impacting operational performance, reporting, analytics, and decision making.

Shadowbase Version 6.820 for Other Servers

Shadowbase version 6.820 unlocks new capabilities for organizations leveraging cloud and hybrid environments through array-based replication.  Array-based replication reduces network overhead, accelerates data delivery, and ensures timely availability of transactional information, allowing enterprises to replicate and stream more data, quicker, while minimizing the impact on source systems.

Shadowbase version 6.820 introduces array-based replication processing across a variety of operating systems and databases, allowing for massive performance improvements for all the supported Shadowbase target databases including SQL/MX, Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase, Db2, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SAP HANA, etc., environments.  In addition, Shadowbase version 6.820 efficiently replicates and streams data both to and from Nonstop systems, ensuring timely synchronization across distributed architectures.

Additional key enhancements include:

• Expanded database and OS (Operating System) support – Most target databases can now leverage array-based data streaming and replication, with consistent behavior across a variety of platforms.
• Improved error handling – New variables provide flexibility for handling unexpected events.
• Improved columnar database integration – this enhancement dramatically improves Shadowbase integration with columnar databases as it implements a new column-binding feature.
• Simplified configuration – Environment variables can be automatically detected, reducing setup complexity and easing upgrades in complex environments.

Organizations adopting cloud should consider Shadowbase for Other Servers version 6.820 to confidently replicate their HPE Nonstop mission-critical data to cloud and hybrid environments.  By combining advanced array-based processing with robust error handling and simplified configuration, Shadowbase software empowers IT teams to distribute enterprise data quickly and reliably across the enterprise while supporting scalable growth and innovation.

Join Us at eGTUG 2026 for Shadowbase Training and an Introduction to Key Shadowbase Enhancements

April 14-16, Shadowbase will be attending eGTUG 2026 in Munich, Germany.  This annual event brings together HPE Nonstop professionals, partners, and customers from around the world for knowledge sharing, exciting new solutions, and new or renewed connections with the amazing Nonstop community.  Gravic looks forward to seeing you at both our training session on Tuesday, April 14^th and our session on Wednesday, April 15^th.

In-depth Training

Our in-depth training session is designed for current Shadowbase users who want to get the most value from the latest releases and capabilities and for prospective customers to gain a deeper technical understanding of the Shadowbase portfolio.

Expect to take away:

• Understanding of the most recent Shadowbase releases, new and enhanced functionality, and the product roadmap
• Updated Shadowbase DIAI capabilities for data streaming to cloud environments, data warehouses, and event‑driven applications in real time
• ZDM playbooks that reduce risk and avoid planned downtime during platform or database changes​
• Insight into enhanced Shadowbase Compare capabilities, including enhanced wildcarding options
• Deeper understanding of Shadowbase Zero Data Loss solution

Gravic is also very excited for our speaking session where we will discuss high-performance data integration and cross-platform data validation with Shadowbase Solutions.

Topics include:

• Enhanced array-based replication that optimizes high-volume data streaming from Nonstop to other enterprises.
• Options for handling UPDATE operations (including DELETE/INSERT patterns) to better align with the performance characteristics of modern relational and analytic engines.
• Heterogeneous Data Validation using Shadowbase Compare Plus to verify Nonstop Enscribe and SQL data against open‑system SQL targets, even when schemas or data types differ.
• Techniques for detecting and safely repairing inconsistencies without disrupting production workloads, supporting stronger data quality and audit readiness.
• Guidance on when to favor array‑based versus traditional transactional data transformation, and how to integrate cross‑platform comparison and repair into ongoing operational procedures for robust Nonstop‑to‑enterprise replication architectures.
• The Shadowbase Product Roadmap and recent customer projects.
