Episode Synopsis

In this episode of the Skyward Data podcast, VirtualZ Computing co-founders Dustin Froyum and Vince Re break down how PropelZ™ simplifies mainframe log integration into modern observability platforms like Splunk.



You’ll get a quick overview of PropelZ’s architecture — built on a powerful three-tier pipeline for real-time or batch processing of SMF records and console messages — and see how organizations are using it to feed mainframe data into cloud-native platforms for security, compliance, and performance monitoring.



Highlights include:



Real-time vs. batch input options




API-based output for Splunk and other platforms




Easy install and configuration — often running in under an hour




Flat-fee pricing and flexible JDBC support




Tune in to hear how PropelZ can replace months of setup with a plug-and-play solution for streaming mainframe log data.
