The product was originally developed by [[Tandem Computers]]. Tandem was acquired by [[Compaq]] in 1997.

When [[Hewlett-Packard]] split in 2015 into [[HP Inc.]] and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NonStop SQL and the rest of the [[NonStop (server computers)|NonStop]] product line went to Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
