Veristorm helps organizations get the most value from their Big Data and their System z investment. Now you can add new data sources, and retain System z advantages for the most secure and cost-effective Big Data platform yet. http://www.crunchbase.com/company/veristormvStorm Enterprise software enables secure integration of z/OS data into hadoop cluster. vStorm Enterprise provides immediate technical benefits: - Intuitive point-and-click data copy from z/OS into the Linux file system or Hadoop - Copy DB2/VSAM/QSAM data transforming the data to HDFS/HIVE formats (CSV and AVRO formats are supported) using COBOL copybooks. - Transfer happens in binary and the data format conversion is done in flight on the linux side ( no copies are made , neither on the mainframe nor on the Linux side). - Data is transferred on the network securely using SSL. - Subsetting of data items in COBOL copybooks allows for just the relevant data to be copied and converted. - Multiple copybooks for the same file are supported with support for record types and record subtypes. - Preserve metadata including data types and column names, and copy directly into Hadoop Hive so data can be queried using SQL Summary of the features: - No Programming Required - Secure transfer(SSL) - MIPS only used for data extract ( minimal MIPS) - Column Sub setting ( move subsets of data ) - Multiple Copybook support for same file - No Staging (savings in storage) - Scheduling (vStorm scheduling or external scheduler) - Output to HDFS/HIVE/Local FileSystem or network endpoint - CSV/AVRO output formats supportedSpecialties:1. System z a. DB2 for z/OS b. VSAM - Virtual Storage Access Method c. QSAM 2. Hadoop, Hive, HBase architecture3. Designed, developed and filed a patent for a process to serve mainframe data into a big data ecosystem.

A. Eclipse: - Designed and developed Classic Data Architect (CDA) which is an eclipse plug-in that supports the Classic z/OS products- Developed code to process COBOL copybooks and create table mappings via wizards that were specific to Adabas, CA-Datacom, CA-IDMS, IMS, VSAM and sequential data sources- Made use if internal IBM COBOL compiler plugin to parse COBOL copybooks and create internal EMF model for use in the wizards- Developed operator/administrator interface to interact with the GUI and z/OS Classic Servers, this interface used a proprietary protocol- Developed packaging and installation images of the GUI.- Worked with ISMP to package the ODBC, JDBC drivers..- Supported the Classic JDBC driver.B .NET: - The IBM Database Add-Ins for Visual Studio are plug-ins that integrate seamlessly into Visual Studio development environment to work against DB2 servers using a db2 provider to create database objects and use these objects in application development to create windows and web applications- Integrated the Add-Ins to work in Visual Studio- Worked on implementing and enabling debugging support for stored procedures which included using all the debugging features, implementing Debugger Visualizer support for BLOB and CLOB types developed C++ classes to support IDebugProperty page interface- Created the build process to generate daily builds- Worked extensively with DB2 LUW, DB2 for z/OS, DB2 iSeries and IDS (Informix) databases during the visual studio integration- Worked on implementing designers which are the user interfaces for creating database objects.- Worked on retrieving database objects to display these objects in a tree view in Visual Studio. This included working against DB2 LUW, DB2 for z/OS, DB2 iSeries and IDS and writing catalog queries to retrieve this information

- Developed Internet applications to perform integration testing of CrossAccess middleware with different application servers. IBM WebSphere Application Server, Internet Information Server/Active Server Pages, ColdFusion, HostPublisher, Bluestone etc.- Developed two and three tiered applications with JSP and an Application server to access data on the mainframe using SQL (Cross Access JDBC driver). Applications were developed using Applet to Servlet communication. Plain JSPs accessing the database using JDBC on the back end were also used. The Application server used was Apache Tomcat.
