This is FlowZ™: Smarter File Sharing from IBM Z

In this episode of Skyward Data, we’re excited to introduce FlowZ™, the latest innovation from VirtualZ Computing™—purpose-built for fast, simple, no-code file sharing from IBM Z mainframes to the cloud.

Your mainframe is generating valuable business data every day—but legacy file transfer tools are slow, manual, and complex. Enter FlowZ™, a lightweight solution that moves files instantly and securely to cloud storage, distributed platforms, and hybrid workflows—without virtual disks, ETL pipelines, or staging.

Join Dustin Froym, Co-Founder of VirtualZ, and Vince Re, CTO and architect of the FlowZ technology, as they explore:

• What makes FlowZ™ different from ETL or virtual-disk-based tools

• How FlowZ™ enables AI-ready file sharing for ML pipelines and analytics

• Real-world use cases for backups, hybrid workflows, and app integration

• Why sequential mainframe files matter—and how FlowZ™ moves them without complexity

• A behind-the-scenes look at how FlowZ™ installs in minutes, not months

Whether you’re a hybrid-cloud architect, platform engineer, or AI/ML leader, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on the future of mainframe data access—one that’s lightweight, no-code, and instantly useful across platforms.
