Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Skyward Data, VirtualZ co-founders Dustin Froyum and Vince Re dive into the challenges of accessing and integrating mainframe data — and how PropelZ™ delivers a fast, no-code solution to move your data wherever it’s needed.

You’ll learn:



Why legacy ETL, replication, and change data capture (CDC) are slow, costly, and fragile




How PropelZ™ enables mainframe-to-cloud data movement in hours — not months — with no code and minimal impact




Ways to feed mainframe data into AI models, data lakes, analytics dashboards, and observability platforms




Use cases including incremental updates, VSAM and SMF processing, tape migration, and real-time streaming to Splunk




How PropelZ™ works: input → transformation → output — any source, any target




How you can eliminate staging, manual processes, and reduce costs while delivering AI-ready data




If you’re tasked with enabling AI, analytics, or modernization but your mainframe data feels out of reach, this session is for you.
