Join VirtualZ Computing Co-Founders Dustin Froyum and Vince Re for a deep dive into unlocking real-time observability of IBM Z mainframe data using PropelZ™.

We explore how organizations can stream SMF data, console messages, and other operational logs from IBM Z directly into tools like Splunk, Elastic, and other SIEM or observability platforms — with no coding or scripting required.


In this session, you'll learn:

  • The PropelZ architecture and how it works

  • Real-world use cases for mainframe observability

  • How to stream IBM Z log and event data to your SIEM platform in real time

  • Strategies for secure storage and recovery of observability data

  • A live demo of PropelZ pushing mainframe console messages into Splunk

  • Overview of pricing ($50,000/year flat fee for unlimited use)

  • How PropelZ compares to other transfer methods in terms of performance and efficiency

    You’ll also hear about complementary solutions like FlowZ™ for cloud storage integration and tape-to-cloud migration strategies powered by VirtualZ's no-code platform.
