There are
issues getting
data to the
cloud/using it
in the cloud
Copyright © 2023TDWI
Some of this data is mission critical/mainframe data
• Mainframe data can be wide and varied
• Transactions, customer data, billing data, ERP data, supply chain data
• Vertical data such as insurance claims, healthcare records, financial data
• This data can be very useful to enrich data sets for analysis and for modern
applications
• Yet, it is complex to modernize to the cloud
• Complex, unique formats such as VSAM
• May use different encoding schemes such as EBCDIC rather than ASCII
• Written in older languages, such as COBOL
• Needs to be available in real-time/synchronized with the cloud
