PKZIP for i5/OS
Reduce File Transfer Times by Compressing Data First with Essential ZIP Tools
PKWARE created the ZIP standard nearly 20 years ago. Since that time, it has become the de facto standard for data management efficiency for department and company computing. PKZIP helps IT managers around the world save money and optimize data transfers. Proven, trusted and reliable, it compresses data up to 95 percent - in effect adding capacity to processing and delivery windows.
In addition to compressing data, PKZIP streamlines the transmission process by providing built-in data translators when data is exchanged between EBCDIC and ASCII-based systems. ZIP archives enable the ability to send groups of files in a single archive to help System i administrators better schedule and manage routine data transfers between midrange systems as well as with UNIX/Linux/Windows Servers, System z mainframes, and Windows desktops. And PKZIP can automatically convert i5/OS spool files to ASCII text or .pdf format for easy distribution to other platforms or the desktop.
PKZIP v9.0 for i5/OS helps speed critical business processes for the midrange environment:
1Step2Tape writes files directly to tape, eliminating the need to first save them to disk
- Achieve significant savings in I/O & DASD resources
- Eliminate the extra I/O required to move data between job steps
PKZIP for i5/OS highlights:
PKZIP for iSeries provides real bandwidth and storage savings by compressing data for transmission and storage
- Compress files up to 95 percent to optimize DASD usage and hardware investments
- Group multiple datasets together in the same ZIP archive to store and transmit related files with fewer, more efficient operations
- Compression spool files to increase available System i spool space
- Increase effective bandwidth capacity, without requiring additional network hardware, by reducing the size of transmitted datasets
PKZIP integrates seamlessly with IBM midrange system conventions for easy adoption and fast implementation
- Designed for the IBM midrange environment, with AS/400-specific file handlers for greater efficiencies (PF-DATA, PF-SRC, and SAVF in the QSYS files system; IFS and SAVF stream files and SPOOL files)
- Automatically converts EBCDIC to ASCII (and vice versa) to facilitate smooth file transfer between System i and Open Systems platforms
- Predicts system usage by simulating ZIP compression operations to conserve precious system resources, without spending the CPU cycles necessary to execute the actual operation
