Paden Holenstein, Bus. Dev. Coordinator
The past six months have been an absolute whirlwind for me. Whether it was from my two weeks of (skiing) vacation, a Family Reunion in Dallas, Texas to watch the total eclipse, or the numerous RUG/TUG events I’ve been to (including a side stop in Tokyo to meet with our local reseller after OZTUG), I am exhausted! My hat is off to those of you that have been doing this all these years…
Over the past few months, we’ve seen some interesting areas of focus in the HPE NonStop world. These key trends and insights are based on our observations over the past six months from interacting with folks in the HPE NonStop world. We hope you find them informative.
This set of requirement changes unleashes a new set of challenges for customers including encryption of Sensitive Authentication Data (SAD) and data tokenization.
Shadowbase users should familiarize themselves with the new 4.0 regulations and the HPE Shadowbase Data Protection Technical Brief, plus leverage key solutions in the HPE Shadowbase Essentials bundle (e.g., SAL and SAR, and Shadowbase UNDO-REDO for Data Recovery).
HPE Digital Resilience Framework (Nist Cybersecurity)
The HPE Digital Resilience Framework based on the NIST Cybersecurity Standard continues to evolve during discussions and presentations at eGTUG and other RUG and TUG events.
Customers should familiarize themselves with the new HPE Shadowbase Digital Resilience and Data Recovery Solutions webpage which provides an overview of Digital Resilience and how to recover critical applications and data after a Malware or Ransomware attack.
Then, they should discuss how to obtain Digital Resilience with their Team and Management.
Keep in mind that this field is moving fast and will likely keep evolving dramatically over the next several months (and stop by our booth at the upcoming TBC for a demo of HPE Shadowbase Digital Resilience in action).
High-Performance Public Cloud Integration with HPE Shadowbase Data and Application Integration
HPE NonStop customers continue to explore cloud options, including platforms, because they find it easy for scalability and agility.
However, they also have come across instances with higher-than-expected storage fees and lower service availability (at least, when compared to HPE NonStop and managing other VM’s on Linux and Windows in their own data center). This has led to “data repatriation” where companies have actually migrated off the cloud back to on-premise datacenters due to unforeseen costs.
Public Cloud Integration
With customers already using HPE Shadowbase for NonStop and Cloud Integration, the Shadowbase Development team has been hard at work on improving the Shadowbase cloud-bursting and related features.
The latest version of HPE Shadowbase enhances the original release’s cloud-bursting speed by anywhere from 10-100x based on the team’s lab results and customer implementations.
HPE Shadowbase Business Continuity with vNS in Cloud Environments
Virtualized NonStop Cloud Environments
The team also continues to improve on Shadowbase Business Continuity for cloud environments.
Currently, Shadowbase software supports full capabilities for NS to vNS (on Azure and GCP, with AWS as in-plan for the future) including bi-directional replication.

We attended nine incredible tradeshows this spring, where we shared our presentation, HPE Shadowbase Solutions: Maximize NonStop Digital Resilience with Data Replication, Integration, and Validation. Our discussion focused on how HPE Shadowbase solutions can help maximize Digital Resilience and address business needs like Cloud Integration, Streaming Data, Analytics, and Virtualization.
Next, we reviewed the HPE Digital Resilience Framework and new product innovation, including Data Recovery for Cybersecurity (e.g., Ransomware recovery) and Zero Data Loss synchronous replication.
