Treehouse Software’s customer base of enterprises using mainframes for storing mission-critical data are asking for ways to take advantage of the most advanced Cloud-based data warehouses. Recently, one of our customers sent us an inquiry asking about how tcVISION can be used to move some of their data to Amazon Redshift, the fully-managed data warehouse from AWS, for reporting and analytics using their existing Business Intelligence (BI) tools. They also expressed concerned about scalability of the data warehouse, since they may increase their data movement quite quickly in the near future.
Fortunately, one of our Cloud experts has been testing out the fastest and cleanest ways to use tcVISION to pump z/OS mainframe data into Amazon Redshift. His testing proved that tcVISION fully supports an AWS best practices framework of: Amazon MSK(Kafka)-to-Amazon S3-to-Amazon Redshift. To achieve this within the framework, tcVISION is used to convert mainframe-based data (Adabas, VSAM, Db2, etc.) to JSON format and publish it to Kafka topics (Amazon MSK), then ultimately to Amazon Redshift as seen here…
