HPE NonStop TBC 2025 was such a fantastic experience! As the event comes to a close, we’re grateful for the positive energy and momentum it created. The gathering was both close-knit and lively, leaving us with meaningful insights and exciting new connections.
As Monday kicked off we Gravians settled in and prepared our booth for the days to come.

What a day! First, we kicked off the show with some fantastic keynotes: Kristina Elizondo welcomed everyone to the show, Mark Pollans gives thanks to the show organizers and for the record number of sessions submitted, Casey Taylor gave a business update and key market insights illustrating where HPE Nonstop is heading, and Neil Davis gives an update of the HPE Nonstop platform around the world.

The spotlight then shone on Shadowbase with Kenneth Scudder of Gravic leading “Ensuring High Availability and Digital Resilience in a Ransomware World”. Attendees learned powerful strategies to safeguard mission-critical data and defend NonStop systems against modern cyber threats.

Later in the day, the community gathered for “New to NonStop: Join Us!” hosted by Paden Holenstein (Gravic) and Vedant Shrivastava (Idelji). This welcoming session offered newcomers mentorship, resources, and valuable connections across the NonStop ecosystem. A true day of community!
Then we got to have one of our favorite moments of the show, when we presented a new Shadowbase Hall of Fame award to our friends at FIS for “30 Years of Sustained Excellence with Shadowbase Software.”

The momentum kept building! In the morning, Amy Sochipun Vajropala, CEO of DataOne Asia (Thailand), presented “Resilience Redefined”—sharing how Thailand’s banking sector uses Shadowbase and BASE24-eps to deliver nonstop reliability in digital payments.

Later in the afternoon, Paden Holenstein of Gravic inspired us with “Unleash the Power of Your Trapped Data”, showing how organizations can break down silos, harness the cloud, and innovate with AI. Wednesday was all about real-world impact and future-forward possibilities!
On Wednesday night, we hit the Nonstop Rodeo, filled with mechanical bulls, boots, and cowboy hats!
We may (or may not) have set a new record in this photo. We won’t say either way!
The conference wrapped up strong with two powerful sessions. Kicking off the morning, Swati Singh (HPE) and Paden Holenstein (Gravic) led “Business Continuity Without Compromise”, highlighting new strategies to ensure uninterrupted access and ransomware recovery.

Lastly, Gravic closed out all of our sessions with one by Keith Moore (HPE) and Paul Holenstein (Gravic) who both dove deep into “Data Consistency You Can Count On: Why TMF Matters.”
With all the sessions, dinners, and networking coming to an end, it was time for everyone to hang up their spurs and head home until next year!
Please let us know if you would like us to discuss these sessions/content with you:
If you weren’t able to catch a session, want to dive deeper into something you learned, or are interested in the latest HPE Shadowbase updates, we’d love to hear from you. It was a pleasure connecting with everyone—TBC was a tremendous success, and we look forward to seeing you again next year at TBC26 in Orlando or at one of the regional events happening throughout the year.
