Day 1 – Conference Presentations
Rob Lesan, AOL Inc.
How AOL upgraded, modernized and migrated a large authentication application ON TO the NonStop with little cost and no downtime!

More and more flexibility, scalability and availability are expected without question. By leveraging HP NonStop technology with advanced replication software, the enterprise can now respond to even the most rapidly changing requirements without foregoing features, functions or missing a single transaction.
