So here is a link to his blog. The 2 most recent articles talk about non-stop and HP and Prather. PDSG in there somewhere?

Then here is a part of an article that specifically talks about PDSG :
Visitors to the Real Time Viewblog sitewill have read about the number of vendors porting their products to NonStop, and this is very encouraging. While the early coverage I provided on new entrants into the financial services marketplace has been documented in several previous posts, this month I looked beyond financial services and at what’s happening in other marketplaces. In writing this post on new marketplaces, I also worked with a client who has been in the NonStop market a long time and had worked hard to add support for other platforms, yet now could see value in refocusing on marketing to the NonStop community. All the while I was tracking discussions on a number of LinkedIn groups and one discussion that I participated in gave me the idea for a post to the Real Time View a little later in the week.
The post I wrote featured a story that I worked on with folks from HP Enterprise Services (HPES), the new home for many who used to be part of EDS. In that post “What's in your container?” I looked at the Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) initiative where NonStop was supporting operational data stores. I wrote of how a project, kicked off by EDS consultants, that had started with a.Net solution, found out about NonStop following the HP acquisition of EDS and recognized that NonStop was the ideal platform to house the all-important data base. I also wrote of how a vendor, PDSG, that had delivered a solution to the healthcare market with their CDX product, was able to turn it into a valuable application addition for the MDA initiative.
In case you haven’t had the time to read the post, you may have missed the following quote, “we are very excited to work in the Maritime Domain Awareness initiative with HPES. This is exactly the type of synergies that the HP/EDS merger was seeking, and it is excellent to see it happen within NonStop, Winston Prather, Vice President & General Manager emailed me. He then added, “HPES readily recognized the value that NonStop's database could bring to this initiative and we of course are very positive about the joint opportunities brought by this new solution area."
In closing the post, I remarked, “in previous posts to this blog I have looked at a number of new applications in the Financial Services marketplace but I am often asked about the applications in other markets and this one has the potential to develop a significant market presence, as no country can operate in isolation. The Maritime Awareness initiative’s engagement with the NonStop division is a very positive development for all who belong to the NonStop community.”
It’s not just about new solutions coming to NonStop, as pleasing and reassuring as it is to hear of them, there are a number of traditional NonStop partners putting more effort into rejuvenating interest in their solutions on NonStop. For many of them there’s been a lot of energy exerted in developing solutions for HP’s open platforms but as the message of converged infrastructure gains wider attention, the realization that future configurations could very well include NonStop has them, once again, excited about the NonStop server. One such partner is Integrated Research whose PROGNOSIS product is among the most widely deployed NonStop products.
