Gravic Presents on HPE Shadowbase Digital Resilience at HPE NonStop FY24 Chile

On January 17th, the Chilean NonStop Community gathered for HPE NonStop FY24 Chile in Santiago. Held in the Madrid Ballroom of the NH Collection Plaza Santiago Hotel, it was an exciting day that encouraged engagement throughout from customers and partners. During the day, HPE and partners had the opportunity to present their solutions and roadmaps to a group of attendees from different companies. Customers and consultants shared ideas, news and talk among themselves and with partners about the HPE NonStop world, IT trends, and partner solutions.

Alfredo Gonzalez, Product Deployment Analyst at Gravic, presented HPE Shadowbase – Resiliencia Digital para sistemas HPE NonStop (HPE Shadowbase – Digital Resilience for HPE NonStop Systems). We appreciate the interest and engaged feedback in our presentation. Congratulations to Raúl Toro of CCA for winning our JBL Flip 4 Prize!

After the sessions, everyone headed to the terrace of the hotel restaurant for the traditional “NonStop Beer Bust”, where we enjoyed a great time and had a fantastic view of the tallest building in South America: Costanera Center.

We would like to extend our gratitude to Fabian Manfredi and the entire HPE Chile team for its hospitality and for making this event possible. All in all, we kept hearing that this event was excellent, and partners and customers are looking forward to next year’s event and to see each other again soon.

Gravic Publishes New HPE Shadowbase Web Page on Digital Resilience

Please check out our new web page on HPE Shadowbase Digital Resilience Solutions and learn how to recover critical applications and data after a Malware or Ransomware attack. Today, the post-attack reactive goal is Detection and Recovery, which is different from the ultimate future goal of pre-attack proactive Identification and Prevention. Malware and Ransomware recovery architectures require an innovative approach with distinct personnel, processes, procedures, hardware, software, and infrastructure from existing Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity architectures. HPE Shadowbase software replicates data into immutable storage and quickly recovers applications on an air-gapped, isolated, and therefore, fully protected system. Gravic has actually been providing Digital Resilience solutions for 40+ years. Please contact us for more information.

Gravic Publishes Real-world Use Case Article on Avoiding Data Corruption

Gravic published a use case article, Real-world Use Case: Avoid Data Corruption by Switching from Passive Replication to Automated Failover and Recovery in the January/February issue of The Connection.

Recently, a customer called us and was concerned about “missing DR files.” After further investigation, the customer identified the cause: application failover did not include all of the customer’s applications.

• The customer replicates data in a uni-directional Active/Passive Post-Disaster Recovery configuration using two HPE NonStop systems.
• Every few months, the customer does failover testing. This architecture requires the customer to manually failover all of the required applications and switch replication in the opposite direction.
• For some reason, one of the customer’s applications was not properly configured to failover and process transactions in the reverse direction.

Please read our article and learn how we helped resolve this customer’s issue, setting them up with a better approach to avoid these fail-over faults in the future.
