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.
