Join Vince Re, VirtualZ Computing's CTO, as he shares a brief preview of the power of Zaac™.
Business-critical data is stored in a variety of locations — in the cloud, on SAN devices, or in SaaS applications, just to name a few. Until now, the mainframe has not been empowered with equivalent data access capabilities to these other platforms.
What can Zaac do for me?
With Zaac, the mainframe is elevated so that it has the same data access capabilities as any other platform. Applications running on IBM Z now have real-time, read-write access to data on other storage platforms and to data created by applications running in the cloud and on distributed platforms.
Zaac maintains existing mainframe-level security, letting you control user access to cloud data and securely manage multiple data source connections simultaneously. It’s based on open standards and protocols, simplifying data source integration — and Zaac’s streamlined process makes it very easy to deploy.
Zaac operates under the concept of “IBM Z as a Client” — allowing mainframe applications to read and write data from other platforms in real time the way a client would.
