Liberate Your Mainframe Data

Z/OS Mainframe CDC And Streaming

Discover how your organization, working with Converge and Confluent, can unleash your mainframe data using Confluent Cloud, Connect, and Data-driven transformation to power your modern applications.

Converge And Confluent

Converge is proud to be a part of the Build with Confluent initiative. By verifying our streaming-based use cases with Confluent, you can have confidence that our Confluent-based service offering is not only built on the leading data streaming platform but also verified by the experts at Confluent.

Confluent is the data streaming platform that is pioneering a fundamentally new category of data infrastructure that sets data in motion. Confluent’s cloud-native offering is the foundational platform for data in motion – designed to be the intelligent connective tissue enabling real-time data, from multiple sources, to constantly stream across the organization. With Confluent, organizations can meet the new business imperative of delivering rich, digital front-end customer experiences and transitioning to sophisticated, real-time, software-driven backend operations.

Streamlining Mainframe Integration
with Converge’s Expertise

Converge works with over four thousand organizations around the world, many of which depend on the mainframe for reliable, high performance compute and storage for their critical systems. Stemming from their acquisition of Vicom Infinity, Converge has deep experience working with our customers and their mainframes, and understands many of the challenges and opportunities they present.

Mainframes are going to be part of the enterprise indefinitely, and so that data must be made available to other solutions, particularly solutions in the cloud.  This is because workloads have changed to power the kind of business systems and customer experiences that are needed in the modern era, and IT departments do not want to directly integrate cloud solutions directly to the mainframe, as this is inefficient, expensive, insecure and low-performance.

To address this, it is key that the information on the mainframe be efficiently and reliably made available in other systems, and kept up to date as possible.  By using change data capture and data-driven event stream transformation, the data can be pushed to any number of systems though Confluent Kafka and make it available so that cloud and other systems can enjoy high-performance, low-cost access to the critical mainframe data.
 
Converge has built a solution using an open-source stack (Debezium, Spring Boot, Kafka) that allows for this data to be synchronized at low cost with a rapid, no-code development to show the possibilities that it could bring to your organization.
