Title: Unleashing IBM® Z® mainframe data with a data fabric
Date: Tuesday, April 19, 2022
Time: 11:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time
Duration: 1 hour
The IBM Z mainframe supports the most critical applications and is foundational to many downstream applications used by employees and customers. The IBM Z platform and data can play an essential role in today's data fabric architecture as both a primary source of valuable enterprise data and a high performance, resilient platform to deliver actionable, real-time insight where and when it is needed.
When data originates on-premises, on IBM Z, no matter how much network bandwidth or cloud capacity is available to accelerate performance, if a query is not accessing data at the source, on IBM Z, results cannot be real-time. By incorporating IBM Z into a data fabric, organizations can access transactional data at its source to deliver real-time insight from that data for real-time decisions.
