Seamless Access to Mainframe Data for AI and Machine Learning

Your AI Needs Data. We Deliver All of It. Instantly.

No-code, real-time access to mainframe data for AI, ML, and analytics — from IBM Z to cloud to decades-old archives. Proven in 1 day. Schedule a briefing.

The Challenge: Your Data Isn’t Where Your AI Is

The most valuable enterprise data isn’t in your lakehouse. It’s locked in VSAM files, SMF logs, COBOL copybooks, and even tape — far out of reach for today’s AI and machine learning initiatives.

To train accurate models and generate real-time predictions, you need fresh, complete, and governed data from across your business — including IBM Z. But traditional ETL, replication, and custom integration slow you down, increase costs, and leave you with stale insights.

The Solution: VirtualZ™ AI Data Access Platform

VirtualZ delivers no-code, instant access to enterprise data — anywhere it lives.

With our software products Lozen™ and PropelZ™, you can securely connect AI platforms, analytics tools, and cloud services to structured, real-time data from mainframes and other legacy systems — without code, replication, or disruption.

Whether you need real-time inference, bulk data for model training, or historical insights from archived tape, VirtualZ unlocks your data at the speed of innovation.

Lozen: Real-Time, Read-Write Access to Live Mainframe Data

Lozen provides secure, continuous, real-time read-write access to IBM Z systems and other enterprise data sources. It enables AI platforms, analytics tools, and modern applications to work from a single source of truth — always up to date, never replicated, and never stale.

With Lozen, you can:

  • Feed live mainframe data into Vertex AI, watsonx, SageMaker, and more — no ETL needed
  • Support application modernization with synchronized, accurate data
  • Power AI, analytics, and automation from your most trusted systems — without delays
  • Eliminate risky data copies and costly integration code
  • Deploy in hours with no specialized skills required

PropelZ: Seamless, No-Code Data Movement from Mainframe to Cloud

PropelZ is your fast, no-code utility for extracting structured mainframe data and delivering it directly to cloud platforms, data lakes, and AI engines.
