PKWARE Delivers Performance Improvements for McAfee’s Expiring Support of E-Business Server

Organizations save on CPU times and costs, and increase encryption capabilities with new SecureZIP eBusiness Edition

Milwaukee, WI (September 19, 2013) - PKWARE introduces SecureZIP eBusiness Edition, a software choice for organizations looking to upgrade performance, cut processing times and expand capabilities as they transition away from McAfee’s expiring support of E-Business Server.

Compared with McAfee E-Business Server, SecureZIP eBusiness Edition software enables:

  • 73% faster elapsed encryption time and 82% faster elapsed decryption time 
  • ​92% less CPU encryption time and 73% less CPU decryption time

SecureZIP eBusiness Edition is a straightforward, drop-in replacement for McAfee E-Business Server. It’s the only replacement that provides a range of options for data-centric security and native use on various mainframe and server environments.

“This transition presents users with a fresh opportunity to revisit their expectations around data performance. Organizations have a choice to bring in vastly improved encryption and processing,” said Jim Lewis, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at PKWARE. “Transitioning from McAfee’s E-Business Server to SecureZIP eBusiness Edition provides a stronger set of business data encryption capabilities, compliance with industry and government regulations, and reductions in processing times and costs.”

SecureZIP eBusiness Edition exceeds McAfee E-Business Server and competitor replacements with: 

  • Industry-recognized support for OpenPGP and .ZIP formats
  • Support for the latest RFC 4880 OpenPGP specification
  • System z™ advances for zIIP workload compression and zEDC compression offloading
  • ICSF integration with support for CPACF, CEX3C and CEX4C
  • FIPS 140-2 cryptographic support
  • ​Day-one support for all hardware and software platform updates

McAfee announced its support of E-Business Server will end by July 2014. SecureZIP eBusiness Edition provides more than file transfer functionality or locked-in maintenance of retiring software. Evaluation and Migration Guides are available directly from PKWARE to help ease the planning and implementation.
