Nonstop Business Rules: From Code to Business Specs with TIC Navigator

In the Nonstop world, we’ve always taken pride in systems that run reliably for decades. The architecture is fault-tolerant, the performance is scalable, and the reliability is peerless. But over time, something important happens: the code stays visible, while the business rules that drive behavior become harder to see. Every enhancement, regulatory change, exception path, and operational adjustment adds another layer of logic. Over many years, the true behavior of the system becomes embedded deep inside source code rather than in written specifications.

News from HPE’s Nonstop Division

It is now officially impossible to ignore the AI storm that is shaking the IT industry. Many of us have been through previous major industry shifts, such as the rise of the world wide web in the 90’s, the mobile computing, the cloud computing but none have challenged the way we think, design, build, deliver, and maintain platforms and software as AI. As much as I want this newsletter to cover various topics, I suspect AI and its impact on Nonstop is going to be our main discussion for the time being.

Real Time View

It was many, many, years ago when working for Tandem Computers that I joined an initiative called NonStop Availability, or NSA as it was better known. As a participant in a small team headed by Dr Tim Chou, we worked through a number of scenarios where availability may be affected. When conclusions were reached, some of us joined Tim on a global roadshow focused on providing insights to then-current Nonstop customers.
