Towards the end of the session, one of our favorite moments of the show occurred: Ken announced that HPE Japan, High Availability Systems (HAS), and the late Dr. Bill Highleyman won the Shadowbase Hall of Fame award. Congratulations to our winners, and thank you for the lasting impact you have left on the Nonstop community, Dr. Highleyman.

Later in the day, Kenneth Scudder took the stage again to present Shadowbase’s first technical session: “Shadowbase Data Solutions: Zero Loss, Fast Recovery, Verified Everywhere“. The session enlightened the audience on how Shadowbase Solutions helps organizations achieve Zero Data Loss (ZDL) architectures while validating data consistency across databases with Shadowbase Compare Plus. It explained how real-time replication and comprehensive data validation work together to support continuous availability, strengthen confidence in mission-critical data, and ensure that replicated data remains accurate and trustworthy.

The momentum peaked on Wednesday as we rolled into our final session. Paden Holenstein took the stage to present: “Cross-Platform Data Validation: The Foundation of Digital Resiliency“. Those in attendance learned of modern data validation concepts, best practices, and emerging approaches that help organizations verify data integrity across the enterprise and strengthen digital resilience. In addition, they learned more about Shadowbase Compare Plus, our newest release, which enables non-like-to-like data validation.
