April 25, 2023 — Gravic Presents on HPE Shadowbase Solutions at MATUG (Mid-Atlantic Tandem User Group)

After all the planning, the MATUG meeting went smoothly at the HPE office in the Reston Town Center.

It was great to meet a few new faces (first-time TUG attendees!) and reconnect with existing friends. The day started with a continental breakfast and networking.

The presentations began with John Vollers providing the HPE NonStop Roadmap, which discussed HPE solutions and the march towards enabling HPE NonStop to run as a virtualized operating system on a wider variety of hardware.

We presented HPE Shadowbase – Digital Resilience, Data Integration, and Data Validation for HPE NonStop Systems. Later in the day, Richard Conine presented You Did Everything Right, But… which was an interesting presentation regarding ransomware and potential solutions available for defense. Enough time was allowed for candid questions and answers throughout the day.

It was wonderful to see the group is growing and how we have a supportive group dynamic nurturing the newer members along.  For example, attendees verbally recognized the efforts and value that the other members bring to the community.

Thanks to John Vollers, Paden Holenstein, Paul Holenstein, and Susan Pridham for helping plan the event.

We hope to see you next year!
