Summary

The text outlines the integration of Treehouse Software's tcVISION with Confluent Cloud to facilitate real-time data replication and change data capture (CDC) between mainframe databases and modern cloud systems. It highlights tcVISION's ability to handle complex data transformations and synchronization from various mainframe sources such as IBM Db2 z/OS to Confluent Cloud, leveraging Kafka's infrastructure for data streaming. The process involves setting up a Confluent environment, configuring clusters and topics, and using tcVISION's control board to manage data replication and transformation through user-friendly interfaces and wizards. The integration aims to modernize data handling, allowing enterprises to utilize cloud services without disrupting legacy systems, as exemplified by BT Group's use of Confluent for real-time data streaming in a hybrid cloud setup. This collaboration enhances data accessibility and operational agility, positioning Confluent as a central hub for multi-source data aggregation and Kafka topic publication.
