We are pleased to announce our latest releases of HPE Shadowbase: HPE NonStop Shadowbase Version 6.801 for both J and L-series systems and HPE Shadowbase Version 6.800 for Other Servers for Windows/SQL Server.
A comprehensive HPE NonStop defense is being developed based on best practices as defined in NIST Cybersecurity Framework. Please visit our new Digital Resilience webpage which describes how HPE Shadowbase software can help you thwart Malware and Ransomware.
Keith Evans summarizes how Malware and Ransomware have become massive and potentially existential threats. A comprehensive defense requires multiple layers of protection, including strong Data Resilience.
Using TMF provides ACID transaction protection, guarantees all database changes are logged, and enables HPE Shadowbase to use the Audit Trail change data for synchronizing a target environment and for data recovery.
Additionally, HPE Shadowbase detects and prevents Man-in-the-Middle attacks between its processes and facilitates adherence to the 3-2-1-1 backup strategy so that companies can replicate data into immutable storage and quickly recover on an air-gapped, isolated (and hence fully protected) system.
We published the article, Ransomware Protection and Data Recovery, in the September/October issue of The Connection, based on our Demo at the HPE booth during the Connect NonStop Technical Boot Camp (TBC). It describes how to use Shadowbase to recover an application on a Ransomware Recovery System (RRS).
We are very excited with the kickoff of the 2024 TUG events. We plan on attending OzTUG, eGTUG, ATUG, and SunTUG
Later in the Spring, two Mid-Atlantic events occur.

Reston, Virginia

Gravic just published a new article, Real-world Use Case: Avoid Data Corruption by Switching from Passive Replication to Automated Failover and Recovery in the January/February issue of The Connection. Please read our article and learn how we helped resolve this customer’s issue, setting them up with a better approach to avoid these fail-over faults in the future.
The ITL Implementation Team is in the final phases of a Major UK Bank Migrating its BASE24™ Application to Active/Active for Continuous Availability. Our migration projects typically involve upgrading Shadowbase software to the latest and greatest version. We always recommend customers using Shadowbase User Exits involve our Delivery Team to assist with the upgrade procedure, and to ensure existing features and functions remain in-place after the upgrade.
Our Development and QA Teams are quite busy working with the new NSB version 6.801, and the OSB version 6.800 for Windows. Please Contact Us for upgrade assistance and more information.
We are pleased to announce our two latest releases, available now with a whole host of new functionality:
Be sure to check out Jonathan Ziegler’s newsletter section for all the new features.

HPE NonStop Shadowbase Version 6.801 includes a new method for replicating an exact copy of a SQL/MP key-sequenced table that contains a SYSKEY.
Shadowbase software still relies on SQL/MX to insert the exact SYSKEY value into the target table, but it now operates at the Guardian level using a new Shadowbase-managed server process to help coordinate the work.
The Shadowbase configuration can be very similar to the rest of the replication threads going from source to target and provides users with a much easier method to replicate MP SYSKEY tables.
