In this episode of Skyward Data, Jeanne Glass, CEO of VirtualZ Computing, explores how aerospace and defense organizations can unlock mission-critical data — instantly, securely, and without disruption — to power AI, strengthen cybersecurity, modernize storage, and ensure mission readiness.

From flight operations and defense intelligence to compliance and secure collaboration, much of A&D’s most valuable data remains locked in mainframes, tapes, and outdated tools. Jeanne highlights how VirtualZ’s no-code solutions — PropelZ™, FlowZ™, Lozen™, and Zaac™ — give organizations AI-ready data where it lives, across mainframes, clouds, and classified environments.

Discover how to:

Accelerate mission planning and simulations with AI-ready data.

Strengthen cybersecurity by streaming logs into SIEM platforms.

Modernize storage with encrypted, on-demand cloud or SAN.

Enable secure file sharing and collaboration across hybrid and classified systems.

Your data. Delivered at the speed of mission.

In this Skyward Data episode, Vince Re, CTO of VirtualZ and the original architect behind much of today’s mainframe innovation, walks through a live demo of PropelZ™ in its new Incremental Mode — showing how it delivers faster, smarter data movement without reprocessing entire files.

Over seven minutes, Vince demonstrates how PropelZ captures, transforms, and updates VSAM data directly into a modern relational database, automatically handling complex mainframe structures such as packed decimals, binary fields, and floating-point data.
