ZIP Server Files

Conserve storage space and reduce file transfer timePKZIP allows you to zip server files, reducing bandwidth consumption and file size by as much as 95%. This decreases DASD costs, conserves transmission bandwidth, and minimizes processing times to meet project windows.

Exchange data across desktops, servers, midrange, and mainframe systemsPKZIP is available on all major platforms and supports data exchange between Windows desktops, UNIX/Linux and Windows servers, IBM i midrange, z/OS and mainframe operating systems. PKZIP converts data to the appropriate format based on the type of system it is being transferred to. PKZIP will also decrypt ZIP files encrypted with PKI or passphrases.

PKWARE is the only single-source vendor of ZIP compression products across all major enterprise operating systems.

Automatically distribute files from server to desktop*By creating self-extracting files, compressed archives sent from servers are automatically decompressed onto desktops. This process is simple for desktop users. Requiring just a few clicks, allowing for quick and easy transfer of files to desktop systems. Please note that PKSFX® functionality is licensed for internal use only.

Report errors via standard reporting mechanismsPKZIP reports errors and events through popular enterprise management tools like HP Openview®, Tivoli®, and Unicenter®. By supporting SYSLOG and SNMP, PKZIP reduces administrative costs by leveraging investments in management reporting tools.

Distribute files to end-users via emailDistribution of compressed files to end-users simply requires adding a switch and the destination email address for the recipient(s). Using an available SMTP server, PKZIP’s email integration saves processing time and development effort for file distribution to end-users inside or outside an organization.

Protect files with strong passphrase-based encryptionOn the Windows server platform, PKZIP supports AES or 3DES encryption using passphrases to protect valuable information. Files encyrpted with PKZIP may be decrypted and extracted on all major enterprise computing platforms using PKZIP, SecureZIP®, or the free ZIP Reader available for Windows.

Improve processing efficiencies with application integrationWith application integration, data can be streamed directly into and out of applications. Many other products require the zip file to be extracted into a data file before it can be read by an application. Application integration eliminates this step, improving operational efficiency by reducing the number of steps needed to process data.
