How Lozen Differs from PropelZ™
While PropelZ moves data from IBM Z to cloud and modern platforms using out-of-the-box ELT, Lozen takes a different approach.
Lozen keeps your data securely on the mainframe — delivering real-time, read-write access without replication, rehosting, or disruption.
- Choose Lozen when you need live, synchronized access to mainframe data without moving or duplicating it.
- Instead of sending duplicate datasets elsewhere, Lozen enables a shared, live connection to your single source of truth.
- Feed AI models, analytics platforms, and cloud-native apps with continuously up-to-date mainframe data — without copies, delay, or risk.
This approach is ideal for organizations that want to:
- Eliminate the overhead of maintaining replicated datasets
- Avoid stale data in analytics and AI workflows
- Preserve mainframe security, performance, and control
Bottom line: Lozen powers AI, analytics, and application modernization by making your IBM Z data available — securely, instantly, and continuously.
Fuel Innovation with Live, Trusted Mainframe Data
Whether you’re:
- Migrating apps to the cloud
- Feeding real-time dashboards
- Powering AI-driven decisions
- Enabling digital services
- Ensuring compliance with zero disruption
