When implemented properly, keystroke logging is a win for users, system administrators, security teams and auditors.  Users may feel like it is an invasion of privacy--it isn’t. System administrators often believe it will negatively impact performance--it won’t.  And security teams always ask if the data collected it searchable/usable--it is. Moreover, for many companies, it can be a compliance requirement.  XYGATE Access Control (XAC) brings transparent keystroke logging, as well as other features to the HPE NonStop while answering all the above questions in a way that pleases everyone.

The regular comparison of filesets across nodes should also be a part of the process to ensure the integrity of your files. For example, files that are replicated to backup environments or remote nodes need to be regularly compared to production files to ensure their integrity.

Verify Elite’s Multi-Node Fileset Compare feature permits the comparison of filesets located either locally or across NonStop nodes. Using the file attribute information, Multi-Node Fileset Compare can compare selected filesets across any two nodes, identifying both the matches and differences between the file attributes in each. If a discrepancy is found, investigation and possible remedial action can then take place.

Is this a question you’ve ever had to ask your team about your beloved NonStop?  How do you handle a performance question like this?   Aren’t our systems so powerful these days that we no longer have to worry about system performance?  While it is true that system performance per se is less of an ongoing concern, a drop in system performance is more like to be a red flag to tell you something more important needs investigating.  You may be lucky and possess a quiet predictable NonStop application that behaves all the time.  However many large-scale customers are pushing many hundreds of transactions per second through their systems, so any slow-down in transaction processing can be a large cause for concern. 

A number of novel approaches have been considered to address this.  In many case performance management has become a centralised function, part of the Operating Centre, where all their dashboards show their transactions rates and system performance.  To achieve this the NonStop systems are delegating the performance management data to other modern platforms that can combine performance metrics from across the enterprise into a single business view that provides executive management with the data visualised exactly the way they want it.

OmniPayments takes a similar approach with its Business Analytics dashboard.  Performance Management information in isolation may not inform you very much.  What a user needs is a broad application view of system behaviour.   OmniOffender and the OmniPayments dashboard provide a simply easy-on-the-eye method of viewing both system operation and transaction Data Analytics to illustrate graphically exactly what the system is producing for the business. 

How are all the interchanges behaving?  Is Visa or MasterCard processing fewer transactions than expected?  What’s the status of ATMs in different areas of the country?  Why are my fraud levels peaking?  Why has the Visa interchange suddenly stopped communicating?  These questions raise real revenue concerns for a business and need addressing quickly. 

This is where an application level dashboard like OmniPayments can really make a difference to maximising revenues. 

The OmniPayments Dashboard comprises OmniOffender system performance and gives you immediate information on the behaviour of your system, for example we include:

For the last NonStop Technical Bootcamp (TBC), NuWave put a new demo together showing how LightWave ServerTM and LightWave ClientTM might be used to modernize a typical payment engine.

We've all heard a lot about REST Web Services and how important they are to an organization’s development strategy.
You’ve probably also read about REST being used with Cloud services like AWS or Azure, and how API Gateways like MuleSoft and Apigee support RESTful API designs. Perhaps you might wonder, then:

• Which NonStop applications are benefiting from using RESTful API's out there?
• How practical is this for my NonStop environment?
• What do I need to do to leverage REST on NonStop?

Romain Soubeyran, Managing Director of CentraleSupélec and Philippe Préval, Managing Director of Lusis, launch the Chair "Artificial intelligence applied to the detection of payment fraud and trading". Through this partnership, Lusis and CentraleSupélec are strengthening their collaboration in the field of artificial intelligence applied to the banking sector.

The Chair supported by Lusis and CentraleSupélec provides a structured working framework allowing the two partners to carry out research work of specific interest by relying on a dedicated research team. It is housed in the Computer Science Research Laboratory (LRI), a joint research unit at Paris-Saclay University, CNRS and CentraleSupélec.

"Artificial intelligence is a game changer in the world of IT and business in general. It will completely redraw the landscape of whole sections of the industry. We want Lusis to be part of this revolution, particularly in our preferred areas of trading, payments systems, on-line banking, and customer-centric programs. For us, being an AI player means being a stakeholder in AI research. This is why we are happy and proud to be able to give a new dimension to our long-standing partnership with CentraleSupélec. Our teams like those set up by CentraleSupélec are enthusiastic about exploring these new universes,” declares Philippe Préval, CEO of LUSIS.
