PropelZ™: Out-of-the-Box. Into Snowflake. AI-Ready Data Access in Minutes.

Data in Motion. Insight on Demand.

Enterprises run on data that spans every platform — IBM Z, IBM i, Linux, Windows, and the cloud. Yet turning that data into real-time intelligence often means complex ETL, long timelines, and fragile integrations.

VirtualZ™ changes that with PropelZ — the first and only out-of-the-box, multi-platform ELT solution that securely moves and replicates data from IBM Z, IBM i, VSEn, UNIX, Linux, Windows, macOS, and any Java-enabled environment directly into Snowflake.

With PropelZ, there’s no code, no waiting, and no complexity — just install in minutes and run today. PropelZ brings governed, analytics-ready data into Snowflake faster than any other solution on the market.

Key Features of PropelZ for Snowflake

  • No-Code ELT and Data Replication
    Automates extraction, transformation, and delivery of structured data from mainframe and distributed systems into Snowflake — enabling continuous, governed replication without custom coding.
  • Out-of-the-Box Simplicity
    Unlike traditional ETL tools that take weeks to configure, PropelZ installs in minutes and runs immediately. Connect your data sources, point to Snowflake, and start moving data the same day.
  • Cloud-Native Integration
    Optimized for Snowflake’s architecture, PropelZ ensures seamless, high-performance data transfer across hybrid environments so that teams work with current, consistent data in near real time.
  • In-Flight Data Transformation

  • Enterprise-Grade Security and Governance
    End-to-end encryption and governed workflows protect sensitive data in motion and ensure traceability and compliance across every platform.
  • Optimized for Every Platform
    On IBM Z, PropelZ is zIIP-eligible, minimizing MIPS impact. On distributed systems, it runs natively in any Java-enabled environment, ensuring consistent performance everywhere.
