Duration: 1 hour
Is your organization struggling to develop hybrid cloud or AI applications using mainframe data, but your team doesn't have the necessary data-source specific skills? Do you need to unlock the data's value and combine it with data from other sources? Are you looking for a technology to mask the underlying architectural complexity of some z/OS based data sources? Are you spending too much time, effort and money moving data from the mainframe to other platforms?
Data Virtualization Manager for z/OS (DVM for z/OS), a mainframe resident technology, enables direct, real-time, secure, access to mainframe and non-mainframe data sources. DVM for z/OS is designed to modernize application data access to z/OS based data sources to support hybrid cloud, data fabric and AI applications.
Join Tom Ramey, Worldwide Director, Data and AI on IBM Z, Alexander MacGregor, Product Manager DVM for z/OS, and Jim Wankowski, Principal Solution Advisor mainframe data access, for this webcast on Data Virtualization Manager for z/OS.
