Simple, No-Code Mainframe Data Access for AI, Analytics, and Modernization

PropelZ™: Instantly Move Mainframe Data Where You Need It Most

Getting your mainframe data into AI models, cloud databases, SIEMs, and analytics platforms shouldn’t take months of coding, ETL scripting, or risky CDC reengineering.

Engineered for Data Movement

PropelZ™ Moves Data Smarter by Design

While Lozen™ provides live, read-write access to mainframe data without moving it, PropelZ™ is designed to securely extract and deliver mainframe data wherever it’s needed — AI models, cloud databases, SIEM platforms, and more.

Choose PropelZwhen you need to move mainframe data to modern platforms for AI training, analytics, observability, compliance, and reporting initiatives.

Instead of sharing a live connection to the mainframe, PropelZ™ moves a copy of the data on demand or continuously — enabling modern platforms to work with structured mainframe data securely and reliably.

Fast, Secure, No-Code Data Movement for AI, Analytics, and Modernization

PropelZ™ is the fast, out-of-the-box utility that extracts mainframe data and delivers it directly to your chosen platforms — without development work or operational complexity.

Whether your data lives in VSAM files, SMF logs, tape archives, sequential datasets, or structured databases, PropelZ™ delivers it — securely and reliably.

Move data on demand or continuously to cloud databases, data lakes, analytics platforms, AI models, and SIEM systems.

Support AI training, analytics, reporting, observability, and compliance initiatives — seamlessly.

Enter the New Era of ETL with a modern, asynchronous, no-code solution that works at enterprise scale.

PropelZ™ makes it simple — no-code, no disruption, and ready when you are.

Why PropelZ™, Why Now

No-Code, Same-Day Deployment

PropelZ™ installs in hours and requires no specialized development or changes to your applications — freeing your teams to focus on business outcomes, not data plumbing.

Built-In Transformation Engine

Quickly convert mainframe files (VSAM, sequential, GDG, tape) into modern, SQL-ready formats using no-code mappings — unlocking AI, analytics, and reporting without reengineering.

Modern Asynchronous Model

Unlike traditional CDC, PropelZ™ moves data asynchronously — eliminating slowdowns, transactional risk, and complex dependency chains.
