Stream Mainframe Application and z/OS System Data into Apache Kafka with Luminex
Data-driven enterprises need access to mainframe data to feed distributed applications, microservices and other business operations, and to enable organizations to use all their data for competitive advantage. Luminex uses FICON I/O channels to stream mainframe application and z/OS system data to distributed applications with Apache Kafka and Confluent Platform in near-real time, more securely and efficiently, and with greater flexibility. With Luminex and Confluent, data centers are modernized and transformed through event streaming, by unlocking the valuable data in mainframes.
