London called and eBITUG answered

  In last month's NSI post 'London Calling' we were looking forward to the upcoming eBITUG event at the Doubletree Hilton in London. Having had a hand in the preparations (through our eBITUG Committee Member and TCM Technical Director, Collin Yates), we were aware of all the behind the scenes...

London Calling, eBITUG 2017

  The European NonStop Symposium will be hitting UK shores this year, with London taking on the role as host, and the BITUG Committee as dutiful organisers. TCM, having an inside man (Collin Yates - TCM's Technical Director and BITUG Committee Board Member), has witnessed the hard work and commitment...

Take your NonStop to The Cloud!

  With the dawn of the Virtualised NonStop, many more services are now being opened up to the NonStop community and starting to attract advocates of Cloud into the NonStop world.  While Public cloud is the long-term goal, a Private cloud appears more achievable in the shorter term. In the...

TCM: The NonStop Upgrade ‘X’perts

We see this growing as NonStop users look for ease of operation and piece-of-mind through proven reliability, sustainability and reduce...

Virtual (is) Reality

Last year when TCM came to NonStop Technical Boot Camp we were met by warm people but cold weather. This year the famously warm embrace of the NonStop masses was matched rather perfectly by the similarly cosy Californian sunshine. After a very enjoyable sponsorship debut at 2015’s event, TCM was...

TCM @ TBC 2016

It’s that time again: the temperatures are dropping, the leaves are falling and NonStoppers from around the world are flocking to their spiritual, silicone home… it’s time for the NonStop Technical Boot Camp! Should anyone ever question what it is that makes NonStop so hard to replicate then they should...

TCM’s Viking Adventure

This September TCM attended the wonderfully named VNUG (Viking NonStop User Group) Event at Rånäs Slott, some 45 minutes north of Stockholm, Sweden. Those of you familiar with the Swedish language will have recognized the ‘Slott’ (translated as Castle) which suggests a less than urban setting, and you would be...
