Unlocking Real-Time Insights with Lozen and PropelZ
Lozen™ and PropelZ™ from VirtualZ™ are powerful solutions that help organizations seamlessly integrate data from traditional mainframe environments with modern cloud applications and event-driven platforms like MuleSoft.
By enabling real-time access to mainframe data for MuleSoft applications, Lozen and PropelZ ensure that organizations can correlate data across various systems and platforms, enhancing decision-making and operational efficiency.
The Integration Challenge
Bridging the gap between mainframes and modern cloud environments presents significant hurdles, particularly when mainframe data is needed for event-driven platforms like MuleSoft. Traditional ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes are often cumbersome, slow, and ill-suited for handling real-time events or updating data back to the mainframe.
Lozen and PropelZ address these challenges by providing MuleSoft with real-time access to mainframe data. This capability ensures that data from the mainframe can be accessed, transformed, and correlated with other data sources while maintaining security and control.
Lozen and PropelZ: Game-Changers for MuleSoft Integration
As a leading integration platform, MuleSoft connects a wide array of applications, data, and devices. With Lozen and PropelZ, organizations can:
- Enable Real-Time, Event-Driven Data Access: Access mainframe data in real time from MuleSoft for immediate event correlation and decision-making.
- Simplify Data Integration: Eliminate the need for complex ETL processes by leveraging no-code tools to integrate mainframe data with other sources.
- Enhance Operational Efficiency: Streamline data access and transformation, reducing operational costs and improving system performance.
