ZL Technologies (ZL Tech), a global leader in information governance, announced that it has won the '2026 Data Virtualization Solution Award' at the 7th Data Breakthrough Awards, which honors outstanding companies, products, and technologies in the data technology sector.
The Data Breakthrough Awards is an international program covering the data technology industry, receiving over 3,500 nominations from innovative companies worldwide. This award recognizes ZL Tech's advanced approach to data virtualization through its 'in-place data management' technology.
For many organizations, unstructured data—such as emails, files, and communication data—is scattered across departments and systems, posing significant challenges for audit response, compliance, eDiscovery, information management, and AI utilization. ZL Tech's platform (ZL Platform) enables cross-organizational visualization, search, management, and governance without the need to move, replicate, or integrate these data into new storage locations, keeping them exactly where they exist.
This allows enterprises to achieve enterprise-wide data virtualization for petabyte-scale data while reducing storage costs, mitigating risks associated with data duplication, and enhancing audit and regulatory compliance.
Nack Jung, Head of Global Services at ZL Technologies, stated: "This award demonstrates that an approach of managing data 'in-place' without moving it is a practical and powerful option for enterprise information management. By leveraging the ZL Platform, organizations can control siloed data and reduce storage load while establishing the data foundation necessary for AI utilization."
ZL Platform integrates compliance, eDiscovery, and records management into a single platform, while extracting intelligence from massive amounts of corporate data for AI and analytics. In particular, by managing unstructured data in-place, it eliminates data silos, maximizing the strategic value of corporate data while minimizing risks and costs.
