vZip Product Page

vZip™ combines strong encryption and ZIP compression with the standard vSphere® client interface to provide organizations with the ability to encrypt and compress virtual machines prior to them being archived; enhancing security, achieving compliance, lowering storage costs, and decreasing transfer times.

  • vZip Features

  • Encrypt and decrypt dormant Virtual Machines: Encrypt VMs using passphrases or digital certificates
  • Compress and decompress dormant VMs: ZIP compression reduces VM size by as much as 80% saving time and valuable resources
  • Copy encrypted and compressed VMs: VMs can be copied to a network path or to a VMware® datastore
  • Integration with VMware® vSphere™: vZip plugs directly into the VMware® environment to secure and compress unused Virtual Machines, ensuring security while reducing disk space costs and decreasing transmission time. Administrators use the vZip GUI in vSphere™ to administer VMs
  • “Running State” detection: vZip integrates with VM error states to prevent a Virtual Machine from being damaged
  • VM configuration extension: Capture the configuration of a Virtual Machine for preview prior to decryption
  • Automate operations using PowerCLI :vZIP includes a cmdlet for automating operations on VM's using PowerCLI.
  • FIPS 140-2: vZip helps meet FIPS 140-2 compliance standards when operated in FIPS Mode.

Solutions » McAfee® E-Business Server Replacement

McAfee® E-Business Server Replacement

McAfee® recently announced its E-Business Server product will reach end-of-life in July 2014. Companies using E-Business Server to securely exchange confidential information need to find another solution.

PKWARE helps organizations minimize the risk of running unsupported McAfee® E-Business Server software, by providing an alternative solution that increases data delivery times and reduces storage needs above and beyond those seen with E-Business Server.


  • Reduce risk of running unsupported software – Use fully supported encryption software in the data center while benefiting from reduced costs
  • Manage and limit the exposure to sensitive data – Ensure security as data is exchanged with partners using the ZIP or OpenPGP security formats
  • Reduce data center costs – Benefit from data processing efficiencies and reduced storage requirements by combining encryption and compression
  • Avoid the cost of noncompliance – Encrypt sensitive data to ensure compliance and  eliminate audit fines and penalties
  • Satisfy contractual and compliance data protection requirements – meet partner security requirements when transmitting sensitive data while maintaining governance and compliance during mission critical workflows

Success Story: Large Health Benefits Company

As part of daily business, the Company used McAfee® E-Business Server, which supports PGP encryption, to exchange sensitive data including insurance claims, Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and medical treatment history of customers with over 300 partners. McAfee announced the End of Support/ End of Life date of July 14, 2014 and the Company has a policy against running unsupported software because of the potential business risk. The Company needed to find an alternative to E-Business Server. They chose PKWARE SecureZIP eBusiness Edition to replace McAfee E-Business Server, because it proved to be a non-disruptive and seamless transition for their customers and partners. The Company has successfully converted to SecureZIP eBusiness Edition. Secure data transmissions between the Company and its 300+ customers and partners are happening on a 24x7 basis, minimizing the risk of a breach and non-compliance. The Company is now able to reduce data storage usage and ensure faster delivery times to partners than when they were using E-Business Server.

Reduce Mainframe Encryption Costs

It goes without saying…sensitive data must be protected, but there are ways to reduce the cost of data security. For organizations that are faced with doing more with less, reducing data center costs is imperative. Many organizations use non-native encryption software to protect their mainframe data; however even for large organizations, these solutions are costly to maintain in these economic times.

PKWARE helps companies lower mainframe encryption costs by using significantly less CPU than non-native, Java and USS-based encryption solutions.

  • Reduce data center costs: Free up valuable CPU resources and avoid/delay CPU processor upgrades by leveraging a native encryption process built on a perpetual license model
  • Improve service delivery: Avoid the cost of missing SLAs while enabling additional business processing and minimizing the risk of a data breach
  • Increase profit: Reduce the total cost of encryption software and data center infrastructure costs while avoiding governance, risk and compliance costs
  • Improve business results: Reduce data center software and capacity charge-backs while alleviating costs associated with missing SLAs
  • Gain competitive advantage: Stand out from your competition by supporting multiple encryption formats and computing platforms and showing readiness for securely using the cloud
cost of a data breach

Success Story: Payment Processing Provider

As part of a cohesive enterprise strategy centered on data reduction and security, the company consolidated three vendors to one. They calculated that the consolidation to the interoperable, multi-platform PKWARE solution will result in over $3 Million in savings compared to continuing to deploy point solutions.
