Systems, methods, and apparatuses for creating a shared file system between a mainframe and distributed systems

A system comprising:

• a data processing appliance having a processor,
• a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor,
• the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to be capable of performing operations comprising:
• receiving, by the data processing appliance, a workflow from at least one of a mainframe computing resource or a distributed computing resource;
• receiving, by the data processing appliance, data from at least one of the mainframe computing resource or the distributed computing resource;
• preparing, by the data processing appliance and in real-time as the data is received, the data for at least one of the mainframe computing resource or the distributed computing resource;
• streaming, by the data processing appliance and contemporaneously with the preparing, the data for at least one of the mainframe computing resource or the distributed computing resource;
• receiving, by the a data processing appliance, the first data that has been processed in a second format by the a distributed computing resource;
• converting, by the data processing appliance, the processed first data from the second format to a first format;
• writing, by the data processing appliance and contemporaneously with the converting the first data, the processed first data in the first format to a first destination corresponding to at least one of a data library or the a mainframe computing resource:;
• receiving, by the data processing appliance, the second data that has been processed in the first format by the mainframe computing resource;
• converting, by the data processing appliance, the processed second data from the first format to the second format:
• and
• writing, by the data processing appliance and contemporaneously with the converting the second data, the processed second data in the second format to a second destination corresponding to at least one of a the data library or the distributed computing resource, wherein:
• the mainframe computing resource is configured to communicate communicates securely with the data library through a first interface and the data processing appliance is configured to communicate communicates with the data library through a second interface, and
• the processed second data in the second format is stored in a first portion of the data library that is segregated from a second portion of the data library that stores received second data that had been processed in the first format by the mainframe computing resource.
