NonStop Solutions From HP: Powering the Most Demanding Business-Critical Applications for the Adaptive Enterprise in Real Time

Overview With the sale of the first NonStop server to run Citibank's ATM network in 1976, NonStop technology created the market for online transaction processing. Since then, HP NonStop servers have been the backbone for the businesses that run the world's most demanding computing environments "online all the time" from stock exchanges, banks, electronic funds transfer networks, retail point-of-sale networks, telecommunications companies, and E911 systems, to today's online travel systems and the world's largest e-mail system. The NonStop architecture delivers this high level of performance over other platforms because its underlying design from the "ground up" is based on an open, standards-based, tightly integrated hardware and software stack built for high-volume transaction processing, parallelism, and mixed workloads.
