As part of Computer Reseller News 2024 Storage 100, VirtualZ Computing is featured as "one of it's 50 coolest #storage vendors", bringing software capabilities, services and #cloud connectivity to storage technology.  Join us for an introductory webinar on June 12th to see Zaac in action and discover how it can transform your storage management. Managing mainframe storage can be a juggling act: 🔹 High costs: Traditional storage solutions can be expensive, especially as data volumes grow. 🔹 Limited scalability: Scaling storage capacity can be complex and time-consuming. 🔹 Integration hurdles: Integrating mainframe storage with modern cloud environments can be challenging. What if there was a way to break free from these limitations and unlock new possibilities for your mainframe storage? Introducing Zaac: Zaac is a revolutionary solution that acts like a bridge, connecting your mainframe to the modern world:Cost-effective cloud storage: Lower your storage expenses significantly by utilizing scalable and affordable cloud options. 🔹 Enhanced data redundancy: Ensure high availability and data protection by storing files across multiple clouds or a combination of cloud and SAN environments. 🔹 Seamless integration: Access mainframe files residing in the cloud directly from your mainframe applications, without significant changes to existing processes. Benefits of Zaac: 🔹 Reduced costs: Lower your storage expenses with cost-effective cloud solutions. 🔹 Improved data protection: Enhance data redundancy and availability for peace of mind. 🔹 Increased agility and flexibility: Easily scale storage capacity and integrate with modern cloud environments. Our software is in the IBM, Amazon Web Services (AWS), @Google & Microsoft Azure partner programs and marketplaces. Most SI’s are embedding our software into their customer projects. https://lnkd.in/g5a_W7SZ #ibmz #cloudstorage #dasd #mainframestorage

IBM announced "IBM S3 Deep Archive" an easy to use Software Stack to store S3 Glacier Objects to cheap, cool and secure Tape Storage! 80% of stored data is unstructured, with the yearly spend on storage for unstructured data leaning towards object storage. Where up to 75% of unstructured data is “cold data”, but a better term is infrequently accessed data, for very little data is never touched in this day and age. And that has led the entire IT industry to the deep but accessible archive. Explore the advantages of on-premise deep archive data storage using IBM S3 Deep Archive on IBM Diamondback and 5U top rack, delivering up to 27PB in a 19”rack footprint at up to 85% less TCO than public cloud solutions! https://lnkd.in/gsBhw95J #IBMStorage #IBMTape #Infrastructure #IBMS3Glacier #IBMS3DeepArchive JUNGYEON KIMJing Shu SunJ.J.

VirtualZ Computing has now launched Zaac for storage, allowing your #Mainframe to connect to non-mainframe storage solutions such as #AWSS3, #GCPStorage, #IBMCloudStorage and SAN Storage solutions. Please join Ken Arredondo and I on June 12th at 12 PM Central as we discuss how Zaac works. #Mainframemodernization Google Cloud Amazon Web Services (AWS) IBM Cloud #Mainframe #MainframeMod

Heading off of #IDC Directions CA, make sure to check out our newly released report, "Defining Cloud-Native Workloads from an Infrastructure Perspective: An Update"! Building off our previous report, we use new metrics to further analyze which workloads will most likely be impacted by the shift towards cloud-native-focused infrastructure, discuss new data that illuminates where organizations are in their cloud native journey, and further deep dive into the technology supporting cloud native applications like cloud-native silicon and infrastructure as code. Be sure to check it out!

let's talk about an often overlooked aspect of cloud infrastructure: region selection. It's not just about latency - it's a multifaceted decision that can significantly impact your entire stack Key considerations: Network topology: Inter-region latency can wreak havoc on distributed systems. Analyze your data flow and optimize accordingly. Consistency models: Multi-region setups challenge traditional ACID properties. Consider eventual consistency trade-offs carefully. Data residency: GDPR, CCPA, and friends demand attention. Implement data sharding strategies to meet compliance requirements. Failover architecture: Active-active vs. active-passive? Your region strategy directly impacts your disaster recovery capabilities. Cost optimization: Inter-region data transfer isn't cheap. Implement intelligent caching and replication to minimize cross-region calls. API versioning: Not all regions get feature updates simultaneously. Plan your CI/CD pipeline to handle potential version mismatches. What's your go-to strategy for handling multi-region complexities? Any battle-tested patterns to share?
