Revolutionize Your Data Access With Lozen™
Lozen™ software is VirtualZ Computing’s revolutionary solution that unlocks the power of real-time, read-write data access — from any platform, anytime, anywhere.
With Lozen, you can leave data where it is — securely on the IBM Z platform — eliminating the need to replicate or “lift and shift” data during migration.
Our strategic data access solution was inspired by an Apache warrior and battlefield strategist named Lozen. As the first woman-founded, woman-led IBM Z ISV in history — and with Native American and diverse heritage across our team — Lozen’s story threads deeply within VirtualZ.
What can Lozen do for me?
Most businesses say they have z/OS applications they would like to move off z/OS but they cannot. Customers tell us the top two reasons are:
- They operate in real-time on data that resides on the mainframe.
- They use data that cannot move off the mainframe.
Our technology — which is built on familiar, industry-standard protocols and APIs that maintain mainframe-level security — unlocks broader data access at a lower cost and enables simpler application migration, all in a no-code implementation. Here’s a look at some key ways Lozen can help you.
Enable Broader Data Access at a Lower Cost
Unlock Faster, Simpler Application Migration
Gain Simple and Secure Access to Mainframe Data from Multiple Application Environments
Achieve More Efficient ETL, Data Transformation, and Change Data Capture
Enable Broader Data Access at a Lower Cost
Customers are consuming up to 40% of their MIPS to run ETL at costs up to several million dollars.
I want my custom and commercial applications — running in the cloud and on distributed platforms — to have real-time, read-write access to data residing on my mainframe.
I want to easily access my IBM Z VSAM data from the cloud.
I want to reduce the costs of data access in my organization.
I want to reduce MIPS consumption.
I want my logging solutions to have real-time access to my SMF data.
Lozen offers organizations a new and efficient paradigm for mainframe data access. With Lozen, an application running in the cloud or on distributed platforms has easy, secure, real-time, read-write access to IBM Z data. Since the data remains on the mainframe, there is no need to replicate or “lift and shift” it, reducing your organization’s data access costs and MIPS consumption.
Unlock Faster, Simpler Application Migration

Over time, I want to move all my applications from the mainframe to the cloud or other distributed platforms. During the migration period, some of my applications will need shared access to data on the mainframe.
I want a hybrid model. I’m going to leave some applications on the mainframe and move some applications to the cloud, and I want them both to share access to VSAM data on the mainframe.
I’m a Micro Focus Enterprise Server customer, and I want to expedite my application migration and seamlessly access
IBM Z data, without any modifications to my application code.
Lozen brings you faster, safer, lower-cost migrations and earlier success in your application migration projects. With Lozen, migrated applications can run unchanged on their new platform, retaining real-time, read-write shared access to IBM Z data. This diminishes risk, reduces or eliminates the need for change data capture, and expedites application migration projects.
Customers tell us the reasons for abandoning z/OS application migrations are:
- Long legacy-method project life cycles and their high associated costs.
- The applications being migrated needed access to z/OS data, but the data could not be segmented or was required to remain on the mainframe — remaining inaccessible to the migrated applications.
Gain Simple and Secure Access to Mainframe Data from Multiple Application Environments
I’m a MuleSoft customer, and I want to easily design data access directly within Mule’s development environment.
I want to access mainframe data from any OpenAPI application.
I want to simplify mainframe data access.
If you are an application developer looking for ways to integrate mainframe data into your applications, Lozen Connectors offer several new ways to simplify these tasks.
Achieve More Efficient ETL, Data Transformation, and Change Data Capture
I want to improve my ETL solution with higher performance and lower costs.
I want to lower my data transformation costs while reducing complexity.
I want a robust data transformation capability to map VSAM/QSAM and other mainframe data to more modern data formats.
I want to simplify or eliminate the need for change data capture.
I want a simpler, lower cost way to populate my data lakes.
Lozen enables more efficient ETL with our zIIP-eligible workloads for data transformation and movement — reducing MIPS and improving performance. Lozen complements many ETL approaches, providing simple, transparent access to VSAM data without the “rip and replace” of existing software investments.
