What’s New in HPE Nonstop Education?
HPE Nonstop technology continues to power some of the world’s most demanding mission-critical environments, supporting industries such as payments, banking, healthcare, transportation, and government. Organizations rely on these systems to deliver continuous availability, security, and performance around the clock.
As the Nonstop ecosystem evolves and experienced professionals retire, developing the next generation of talent has become more important than ever. Building knowledge, accelerating onboarding, and strengthening operational expertise are critical to ensuring organizations can continue to support and maximize the value of their Nonstop environments.
Over the past year, HPE Education Services has invested heavily in modernizing its Nonstop training portfolio, making it easier than ever for new and experienced professionals to develop practical, job-ready skills.
One example is the evolution of the long-standing Nonstop Concepts and Facilities course into the more comprehensive HPE Nonstop Compute System Fundamentals. This updated course provides a modern introduction to the platform, helping learners quickly understand key concepts, architecture, and operational principles.
To complement formal training, HPE Education Services now offers hands-on virtual labs and free practice labs that provide access to a secure training environment where learners can gain practical experience with real-world tasks and scenarios. These labs help bridge the gap between theory and practice while reducing the risk of learning in production environments.
Another significant enhancement is the expansion of flexible learning options. In addition to instructor-led courses, many topics are now available through self-paced eLearning, allowing individuals to learn when and where it suits them. This flexibility helps professionals build new skills without the scheduling challenges traditionally associated with multi-day classroom courses.
Once a course has been completed, attendees are accredited with a ‘digital badge’, allowing them to easily demonstrate their skills, experience, and knowledge. Badges can be posted to LinkedIn accounts, highlighting their self-development to their organization and wider network.
HPE Education Services delivers role-based training for administrators, developers, database specialists, architects, and experienced Nonstop professionals. Training combines expert instruction, hands-on labs, curated learning paths, and accreditation opportunities to support continuous professional development.
