With a perfect record for uptime, the solution ensures a return on investment

Since it is a legacy tool, there is a need to change it for flexibility. I think now it has improved because the security is very good. It is very secure for the performance of the machine critical application service, and it is very good. I don't know how to speak more on improvement needed because it's a good enough tool. However, depending on the application, it's limited. Not a lot of applications run on HPE NonStop. It is not flexible because I know that because of the compatibility of Java with HPE NonStop. When we are using Java, the performance is not good.

It's not a one-size-fits-all converged infrastructure system, which means that I can mix things and have convergence throughout the whole stack.

The Netra Modular System is really cool because unlike all the other Oracle solutions, this is a system that is a lot more agile. It's a technology that's the basis of a converged infrastructure, but it's what we work on -- agile convergence. The Netra Modular system lets you do things you can't do with competing products. Competing technologies in convergence force you to use their hypervisor. They force you to use their OS. They force you to use their storage in its configuration. It's very cookie cutter. They're kind of one-size-fits-all and there's no flexibility. If you think it, when's the last time you bought your clothes one-size-fits-all? It just doesn't fit well. People have been doing that with convergence. So what's cool with the Netra Modular System is that it's not one-size-fits-all. I can mix things in it in ways I can't mix on other systems, but when I use Enterprise Manager, I still have the advantages of a converged system. I still have a single pane of glass, but it doesn't do a lot of convergence, just maybe the network, the storage, and the operating system. With Netra and Enterprise Manager, I can start from the network in storage and go all the way up into the application tier. It's convergence throughout the whole stack.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Implement it. You will never regret it."

"We don't have any issues with the stability of HPE NonStop."

"Technical support is A++. If there is a problem, HPE will fix it."

"Feature-wise, the most valuable one is the fact that it has 100 hundred percent uptime every year. Secondly, it is stable."

"It is a nearly perfect product, although it also has some restrictions and short comings."

"The stability of HPE NonStop is good."

"It helps us to keep the business running 24/7."

"Because we're able to get immediate support, this prevents downtime and directly impacts cost savings."

More HPE NonStop pros

"In regards to scalability, you really can't beat it."

Cons

"If pushed, then the only thing I can think of would be utilities provided by the vendor."

"NonStop (formerly known as Tandem) in the Guardian OS could use another, friendlier macro language."

"There were some scalability issues. When we decided to migrate an application or port application, the limitations of these servers did not help us."

"The NonStop Support Center is very good, with an occasional bump in the road."

"It is not flexible...Not a lot of applications run on HPE NonStop."

"It is a nearly perfect product, although it also has some restrictions and short comings."

"HPE NonStop could improve by having infrastructure management."

"It would be helpful if they brought the price down."

More HPE NonStop cons

"What I would love to see is better integration between Enterprise Manager and ES2 switches."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is too high. If they lowered the price substantially it would open up more opportunities. It's considered a replacement for the old 9000 boxes of HP. If it had a lower price, we would be able to compete in the financial, and other sectors and other solutions such as Terraform. Having a high price makes other solutions more attractive."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."

"HPE NonStop is definitely on the higher end."
