PKZIP	Standard	Enterprise
Reduce file size by as much as 95% Get bottom-line cost reductions through conservation of bandwidth, storage space, and backup tapes. PKWARE uses industry-leading algorithms that compress files more efficiently than free compression libraries such as ZLIB.
Cross-platform data portability ZIP archives are portable data containers that can be read and decompressed on virtually all major enterprise operating systems. PKWARE is the only single-source vendor of ZIP compression products across the major enterprise operating systems - guaranteeing interoperability.
Traditional password-based data file protection PKZIP for i5/OS supports traditional encryption using pass phrases to protect sensitive information. Files encrypted with PKZIP may be decrypted and extracted on all major enterprise computing platforms using PKZIP, SecureZIP, or the free ZIP Reader for Windows.
Very large archive support Over 2 billion files can be included in a single ZIP archive.
Large file size support PKZIP can compress files of over 9 exabytes in size.
Self-extracting files for end- users and other platforms ZIP archives can be formatted as self-extracting files for Windows end-users or for UNIX/Linux operating systems. Compressed data can be easily unzipped in one easy step.
1Step2Tape and 1Step from Tape Write files to tape in a single step, significantly reducing the time and effort required to write and extract files from tape media.
