This year the famously warm embrace of the NonStop masses was matched rather perfectly by the similarly cosy Californian sunshine. After a very enjoyable sponsorship debut at 2015’s event, TCM was enthused to be back, once again packing ... read more

IR has enjoyed a long relationship with NonStop, dating back to the days when monitoring a Tandem Computer represented little more than checking resource usage and making sure processes hadn’t been stopped.

The list of attendees passed the 400 mark and with a number of promotional (i.e. free) registrations plus additional volunteers helping out the final numbers, when tallied up, looked ... read more

If last month we expressed optimism ahead of the 2016 NonStop Technical Boot Camp, then having seen what transpired has validated such optimism. The attendance was up compared to previous years and while we are still reviewing the actual numbers, it looks as though the number inched up very close to 500. Of course, it doesn’t take a ... read more

In the lead up to Boot Camp presentations given by OmniPayments at Regional User Group (RUG) events had included references to recent wins but hearing about what was OmniPayments ... read more

Just returned from CTUG where the Canadian NonStop community was privileged to hear HPE NonStop Senior Director, Andy Bergholz, provide an update on NonStop – real and virtual. While much of the ground Andy covered was now familiar to those who participate in RUG events worldwide, it wasn’t until the late afternoon Q&A session that a ... read more

October was a month where Pyalla continued with its investment in Regional User Group (RUG) events across North America. Turns out, I’m a little behind the times when it comes to conventions as the Connect organization has been calling RUGs “Chapters” for some time rationalizing the change as being more “industry standard.” And maybe it ... read more
