TCM - 10:30AM - 10:45AM
Speaker - Shiva Subramanian
Topic - "Pushing Boundaries with Code: Git and Jenkins Meet NonStop"
Discover how Git and Jenkins bring modern DevOps to HPE NonStop. See how automated builds and version control replace manual deployments, boosting collaboration, speed, and reliability.
Traditional Nonstop development often relies on manual edits, shared folders, and hand-deployed builds — reliable, but slow and difficult to scale. In this session, we’ll show how Git and Jenkins transform that workflow with modern DevOps practices: version control, automated builds, and continuous integration. You’ll see how these tools streamline collaboration, improve traceability, and accelerate delivery — all while maintaining Nonstop’s hallmark reliability. Discover how even the most fault-tolerant platform can embrace continuous innovation.
4tech Software - 10:45AM - 11:00AM
Speaker - Martin Corr
Topic - "Tokenization, an alternative, cost effective solution developed for the HPE Nonstop".

Join us for an update on Tokenator, 4tech Software’s tokenization solution designed specifically for the HPE Nonstop to simplify and strengthen how organizations protect sensitive information.
This session will explore how Tokenator transforms data protection by replacing sensitive data with secure, format-preserving tokens. We’ll showcase real-world use cases, seamless integration options, and measurable ROI achieved through faster compliance and reduced data-handling complexity.
Whether you’re a security professional, or technology decision-maker, this presentation will equip you with actionable insights on how Tokenator delivers next-generation security, scalability, and simplicity for modern enterprises.
