PropelZ™ for VSEn: No-Code, Cross-Platform Data Movement — Now on IBM VSEn
PropelZ started on IBM Z to make mainframe data movement fast, reliable, and no-code. Many customers asked for the same experience on other platforms — especially IBM VSEn environments and mixed estates where data lives on Windows, Linux/UNIX, IBM i (AS/400), and more.
Good news: PropelZ for VSEn is here. Because the new runtime is pure Java, you can deploy PropelZ wherever Java runs — including VSEn — to read files, transform data, and write to JDBC-compatible targets (databases, lakes, warehouses) without detouring through z/OS or burning mainframe MIPS. That means less network hopping, simpler installs, and faster time-to-value.
Why Attend
- You run IBM VSEn (or support customers who do) and need a modern, no-code way to move and transform data.
- You want to avoid routing non-VSEn workloads through z/OS just to use a mainframe-only tool.
- You need flexible packaging options (on-prem, VM images, marketplace AMIs) that align with cloud governance and metering.
What You’ll Learn
- Architecture: How the Java-based PropelZ runtime works on VSEn and other platforms.
- Performance & Ops: When running “where the data lives” reduces network movement and frees up z/OS capacity.
- Targets & Pipelines: Pushing to Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Snowflake/BigQuery/Redshift (via JDBC) and more.
- Governed ELT: Using no-code pipelines for incremental updates, filters, and transformations — without custom scripts.
- Packaging & Install: Options for VSEn and non-mainframe platforms, plus app-store/marketplace delivery models.
- Roadmap & Pricing Approach: Platform-based SKUs that won’t undermine z/OS licensing.
Who Should Attend
- VSEn system owners, data engineers, architects, and modernization leaders
- Partners and MSPs supporting mixed estates (VSEn + distributed)
- Compliance, audit, and ops teams seeking predictable, governed data movement
