GitHub Meets Mainframe: Simplifying DevOps with VirtualZ’s Zaac™

In this episode of Skyward Data, VirtualZ Co-founders Dustin Froyum and Vince Re explore how Zaac™, our patented virtual file system, is reshaping mainframe DevOps by making GitHub work natively on IBM Z—no replication, no scripts, and no headaches.

Listen in as we cover:



How Zaac integrates GitHub directly into Z/OS using standard Fuse drivers




Why mainframe teams no longer need to choose between modern toolchains and traditional workflows




How developers can edit, compile, and manage code in GitHub from both cloud and mainframe environments—without any sync errors




Real-world productivity gains from removing build delays and replication steps




Support for iSCSI, NFS, S3, and other modern storage protocols—all accessible as mainframe disk or tape




Whether you're managing legacy COBOL or building Java applications, Zaac makes it easier to modernize DevOps processes while maintaining full compatibility with your existing tools.
