Case Study: VirtualZ achieves 8–10x faster mainframe-to-cloud data movement with Progress DataDirect

VirtualZ boosts mainframe data throughput 8–10x with Progress Software

VirtualZ, a data integration company focused on mainframe modernization, faced performance bottlenecks when moving petabytes of legacy data for its PropelZ platform. The slow, rigid process impacted the engine's AI readiness, so they turned to Progress Software and its DataDirect connectivity solution for a better tool.

Progress provided high-performance DataDirect JDBC drivers, which allowed PropelZ to push massive volumes of mainframe data reliably into cloud and AI platforms. The solution delivered an 8-10x improvement in data movement throughput, enabling one customer to move terabytes of data per hour. This gave VirtualZ's customers an out-of-the-box experience with no custom integrations needed, accelerating their time to value.
