SUMMARY:VirtualZ Closing Session: Where Do You Want Your Data? Four No-Code Answers for IBM Z
DESCRIPTION:This Portland IBM Z Customer Council event features sessions from IBM, 21CS, Pellera, and VirtualZ Computing, with VirtualZ Founder and CEO Jeanne Glass presenting the closing session at 4:00 PM EDT.\nIn the closing session at 4:00 PM EST, VirtualZ Founder and CEO Jeanne Glass will share how enterprises can move IBM Z data, access it live in place, and extend mainframe storage to the cloud — all out-of-the-box — for AI, analytics, and beyond, with no application changes, no custom code, and no production disruption. The session introduces the four no-code products in the VirtualZ portfolio:\n\nPropelZ — Move it. No-code data movement between mainframe and non-mainframe systems — any input, any output, in any direction. Read and write VSAM, DB2, tape, sequential data, S3, Azure, GCP, NFS, SMB, and SFTP. Proven at 56,000 records per second, mainframe to cloud.\nFlowZ — Store it in the cloud. z/OS writes directly to Amazon S3, Azure Blob, or Google Cloud Storage as if it were a local device. Durable, low-cost, off-site storage for backup, archive, and tape replacement — no software in the cloud, no custom code.\nLozen — Access it live in place. Real-time, read-write access to mainframe data with no moving and no copying. Use live VSAM, QSAM, and DB2 data directly from AI models, analytics platforms, BI tools, and hybrid-cloud apps, while z/OS stays the single source of truth.\nZaac — Run it as native storage. Cloud and SAN appear as standard z/OS volumes and tape devices, so every application runs unchanged.\n\nVirtualZ technology is proven in production across industries, in partnership with system integrators, outsourcers, and hyperscale cloud providers including IBM, AWS, Google Cloud, Snowflake, Ocient, Accenture, Kyndryl, Wipro, and Infosys.\nFull Agenda\nThe Portland IBM Z Customer Council features four sessions:\n\n12:10 PM EST — Road to Innovation: Adoption and Support, presented by Isabella Reyes, IBM\n1:40 PM EST — OpenTelemetry + IBM Z: A Unified Approach to Enrich Your Observability Pipeline, presented by Kekahu Aluli, IBM\n2:50 PM EST — IBM Bob Premium Package for Z, presented by Ryan McCarry, IBM\n4:00 PM EST — Where Do You Want Your Data? Four No-Code Answers for IBM Z, presented by Jeanne Glass, VirtualZ Computing\n\nAbout the Speaker\nJeanne Glass is Founder and CEO of VirtualZ Computing and a two-time IBM Champion. Jeanne leads VirtualZ Computing’s mission to make real-time, no-code access to enterprise data simple, secure, and AI-ready. A patented executive, Jeanne is the founder of the first woman-founded, woman-led, and Native American-founded and -led mainframe software provider in mainframe history.\nAbout VirtualZ Computing\nVirtualZ Computing is a no-code data integration company with deep mainframe expertise at its core. VirtualZ makes mainframe data and the cloud work as one — letting enterprises move data anywhere, access it live in place, store it in the cloud, or run cloud and SAN as native mainframe storage, with no code and no homegrown pipelines. The VirtualZ portfolio includes PropelZ, FlowZ, Lozen, and Zaac.\nRegistration\nThe IBM Z Customer Council in Portland, Maine is free to attend for qualified IBM Z customers and partners.\nRegister at ibm.biz/MaineJuly21 →\n
