Unlock AI, Analytics, and Modernization by Making Your Mainframe Data Instantly Usable Anywhere It’s Needed
The world’s most valuable data often isn’t in your data lake — it’s still locked inside legacy systems, mainframes, and even tape archives. That’s a problem when today’s innovation depends on real-time, cross-platform access to enterprise data.
PropelZ by VirtualZ Computing™ solves that — instantly.
PropelZ is a patented, no-code utility that extracts and delivers mainframe data to over 100 platforms, including cloud databases, AI/ML models, SIEM systems, and data lakes. Whether for analytics, compliance, reporting, or machine learning, PropelZ makes your mainframe data usable where it matters most.
Your Mainframe Data. Instantly Available to the Entire Stack.
With PropelZ, you can securely move IBM Z data to:
- AI & Machine Learning platforms like watsonx, Vertex AI, SageMaker, and Azure ML
- Data Warehouses & Lakes including Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, and Azure Synapse
- BI & Analytics Tools like Tableau, Power BI, Qlik, and Looker
- SIEM & Observability Platforms such as Splunk, Elastic, and Exabeam
- Cloud Storage for Tape Offload, backup, or modernization
All of it with no code, no replication risk, and no complex transformations.
Skip the Complexity — Just Move the Data
Legacy ETL pipelines and data replication approaches are slow, expensive, and require constant rework. PropelZ replaces all that with a lightweight, no-code alternative that works out of the box.
- Installs in minutes and requires no changes to existing apps
- Transfers data asynchronously, reducing risk and complexity
- Transforms data automatically into modern, SQL-ready formats
- Supports 100+ platforms through JDBC or native API integration
- Secure by design and optimized for minimal MIPS impact (zIIP-enabled)
What PropelZ Moves
Whether your data is in VSAM (KSDS, ESDS, RRDS), QSAM, SMF, PS datasets, Db2, IMS, or even flat files and COBOL copybooks — PropelZ can move it.
