Get critical data where you need it, fast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anywhere from 40 to 80% of mission-critical enterprise data still sits on the mainframe\u2014yet that data is often the hardest to leverage in modern data streaming initiatives.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve invested in Apache Kafka to power real-time applications and dashboards, but your customer and transactional data is left behind in the mainframe, you’re operating with an incomplete picture.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CONNX for Kafka creates a stable streaming connection with your mainframe to unlock your most valuable data, enriching your Kafka streams without disrupting your core systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
