Instantly Share Mainframe Files for AI, Hybrid Cloud, and Storage
Deliver open, AI-ready files from your mainframe to cloud and distributed platforms — without virtual disks, coding, or disruption.
Purpose-Built for File-Based Sharing and Backup
FlowZ™ moves files smarter by design
While Zaac™ provides general-purpose, virtual-disk-based mainframe storage, and PropelZ™ moves structured mainframe data into cloud databases for analytics and AI, FlowZ™ is designed to move and share mainframe-generated files — quickly, simply, and without the complexity of disk volumes or ETL pipelines.
Choose FlowZ™ when you need to move or share sequential mainframe files — quickly, easily, and without complexity — with cloud storage, distributed applications, AI platforms, or hybrid environments. Perfect for backups, file sharing, and lightweight data pipelines.
With FlowZ™, you can:
- Back up mainframe files to the cloud in minutes
- Share mainframe-generated files with distributed and hybrid applications
- Enable lightweight pipelines and hybrid workflows — without heavy configurations
- Eliminate the overhead of virtual disks and proprietary formats
FlowZ™ requires no data transformation or replication
It delivers standard, open files that cloud and distributed platforms can use directly — securely, simply, and without disruption.
Smarter File Storage and Sharing for IBM Z
Your mainframe generates critical business data — but sharing it with cloud and modern platforms is harder than it should be
