Syncsort Acquires EView to Integrate Mainframe and IBM i Data

Syncsort, a provider of Big Iron to Big Data software, is acquiring EView Technology, a Raleigh, North Carolina-based provider of software for integrating mainframe and IBM i data into leading enterprise IT management platforms, including ServiceNow.

The acquired products and expertise build on Syncsort’s leadership in the growing Big Iron to Big Data market, expanding the number of next-generation platforms Ironstream delivers critical mainframe and IBM i data to for advanced analytics.

In addition to Splunk and the Elastic Stack, Ironstream will now be able to seamlessly integrate this data with ServiceNow Discovery, Microsoft System Center and Micro Focus Operations Manager.

“A high priority for data-driven organizations is the ability to quickly extract value from their critical data anytime, anywhere to empower more informed business decisions,” said Josh Rogers, CEO, Syncsort. “The acquisition of EView strengthens and extends the reach of our Ironstream family of products, making data from traditional systems readily available to more of the key management platforms our customers depend on for those insights.”

In addition, EView's enterprise-proven Intelligent Agent Technology will bolster Syncsort’s ability to offer organizations more options in integrating different data sources with advanced management platforms for a more comprehensive view.

Syncsort's Ironstream is part of the Syncsort Integrate family of products. It forwards critical security and operational machine data from mainframes and IBM i servers.

This enables the data to be streamed and correlated with data from the rest of the enterprise within Splunk and other Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and IT Operations Analytics (ITOA) solutions.
