HP has enhanced its Integrity NonStop portfolio, which it claims to deliver increased capacity, improved performance and enhanced enterprise integration.

According to HP, the new enhancements to the NonStop portfolio include enhanced performance of enterprise data centre systems with NonStop BladeCluster Express1.2; aggregates information across an enterprise with NonStop SOAP 4.0, offers integration with open source software such as spring, apache axis2, MyFaces and Hibernate; and increased service levels through simplified software programming, and performance with the upgraded NonStop SQL 2.3 database.

The company said that the Integrity NonStop servers have delivered fault tolerance and performance to companies worldwide that depend on operations, such as financial institutions, emergency response centres, hospitals and mobile phone operators.

The company claims that the new enhancements enable customers to deploy new applications and services in less time, while enhancing access and management of technology infrastructures.

Diederick de Buck, technical architect for NonStop systems at Rabobank, said: “Rabobank looks to HP NonStop technology to handle our mission-critical financial services applications and help mitigate risks associated with virtual banking. The HP NonStop system has been an innovative force in mission-critical computing from the very beginning and has laid a solid foundation for Rabobank for many years to come.”
