The chance viewing of posts and tweets led me to an analyst report that suggested hardware vendors were going to shift their business model. What could this mean for the HPE and the NonStop community? Reading posts and commentaries on social media channels has become routine for Margo and me. For the better part of a decade, we have spent time checking out the popular sites like LinkedIn and Twitter. However, one post to LinkedIn we missed until we saw promotion of it elsewhere but after reading the post, it made us think more on where NonStop may be headed. The post was by T.C. Janes and it promoted a McKinsey & Company report, Hardware’s business-model shift: Finding a new path forward . Janes was Client Chief Technologist where, according to his LinkedIn profile he was “Responsible for understanding and quantifying my client's technology portfolio, strategizing across all HPE Centers of Excellence to address their business/technology challenges, aligning current/future HPE s...

Critical infrastructure has always been a priority for society but when it comes to technology critical infrastructure, October 1987 and Black Friday remains a lesson on just how well NonStop can scale even in the darkest of hours.

Given the one-off occasion this happened to be, there was no chance at all that history would ever be repeated. With this in mind, I had an occasion this past week to recall the music of New Zealand’s well-recognized rock group, Split Enz and, in particular, the lyrics from one ...

It is apparent our future working environments will differ greatly to what we experienced a year or so ago and yet, when it comes to the NonStop roadmap is does look like they know where they are headed! It has been such a long time since Margo and I ventured out onto America’s highways. Looking back through posts to this blog as well as to our social blog, Buckle-Up-Travel, it would appear that it was as long ago as September of 2020. Back then it was just a quick trip to Southern California to catch up with colleagues before heading up Highway 1 to San Jose. For a couple who love to drive and who have crisscrossed the continent many times, it’s been a tough year.

When we consider the bigger picture, any inconvenience from not being able to drive is at worst just a minor irritation. For those who would like to ...
