Million-File Migrations: How PropelZ Multiplexer Handles Enterprise Scale


Listen Later

When you need to migrate 200,000+ mainframe datasets to the cloud, individual file transfers don't scale. In this episode of Skyward Data, VirtualZ CTO Vince Re explains how PropelZ Multiplexer transforms massive data migrations from operational nightmares into manageable, automated processes.

Learn how inventory-driven migration processing can reduce months-long projects to weeks, with parallel execution that handles hundreds of transfers simultaneously. Discover why enterprises are choosing intelligent queue management over traditional one-at-a-time approaches for virtual tape library migrations, application modernization, and large-scale cloud transitions.

Key topics include:

  • Real-world performance: 100-200 parallel transfers processing thousands of datasets per hour
  • Comprehensive status tracking that transforms black-box operations into transparent processes
  • Integration with existing automation infrastructure and help desk systems
  • Beyond migration: compliance archiving, disaster recovery, and data center consolidation
  • Perfect for IT leaders planning large-scale mainframe data projects, operations teams managing enterprise migrations, and anyone dealing with the operational complexity of moving massive amounts of archived data to modern storage platforms.

    Skyward Data explores the intersection of mainframe systems and modern cloud infrastructure, featuring practical insights from VirtualZ Computing's real-world customer implementations.
