Listen "Move Faster with FlowZ: Real-Time File Sharing for Mainframe and Cloud"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Skyward Data, we dive into FlowZ™, the no-code solution that’s transforming how enterprises move mainframe files — in real time — without relying on fragile ETL pipelines, virtual disks, or legacy scripting.
Dustin Froyum, Co-Founder of VirtualZ Computing, and Vince Re, VirtualZ’s CTO and the original architect behind CA Top Secret, to walk through why FlowZ is uniquely timed for today’s hybrid-cloud, AI, and regulatory demands.
What You’ll Hear:
Why mainframe file sharing is due for disruption
How FlowZ lets you back up to the cloud in minutes — no DASD, no tapes
Real-world examples of z/OS file movement across cloud and SAN
How FlowZ fits into the growing demand for DORA compliance
The role of FlowZ in AI/ML workloads and hybrid data architectures
A behind-the-scenes look at how FlowZ installs and runs
And why FlowZ is only $50K/year — flat-fee, unlimited use
