New Solutions From HP For Mission Critical Environments

Palo Alto, California-headquartered HP has upgraded its “NonStop” system offering with a new set of features.

When it was introduced in 1974, Tandem Computer’s NonStop system was the first fault-tolerant system in the world. The system was offered as a solution with not one single point of failure. The solution immediately became a hot favorite of industries such as banking, telecom, government and healthcare because of the high degree of reliability. In 2002, after the HP-Compaq merger, NonStop System came into HP’s fold.

The company has brought out some new enhancements to the NonStop portfolio: The BladeCluster Express 1.2 enables managing enterprise data center systems that are spread over large geographies. The SOAP 4.0 software integrates with open source software such as Spring, Apache Axis 2, MyFaces and Hibernate to aggregate “islands” of information across an enterprise. The SQL 2.3 database now provides simplified software programming and better application capacity, according to the company release.

The servers from HP are deployed in heterogeneous operating environments such as multiple flavors of Unix, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and the like.
