About VirtualZ Computing
VirtualZ Computing is revolutionizing data access.
Our patented technology, Lozen™, enables organizations to run on a single source of truth, while maintaining data integrity and security. Custom and packaged applications running anywhere — in the cloud, on distributed platforms, or on mobile devices — have real-time, read-write access to always-in-sync data on the IBM zSystems platform.
Building on Lozen, Zaac™ will be coming to market in late 2023 and operates under the concept of “IBM zSystems as a Client” — allowing mainframe applications to read and write data from other platforms in real time the way a client would.
VirtualZ is a Microsoft Partner, OpenText (Micro Focus) Authorized Technology Alliance Partner, Infosys Partner, IBM PartnerWorld member, and woman-founded, woman-led, enterprise software company.
