PKZIP for z/OS
Save Valuable CPU Cycles and Reduce Data Transfer Time with ZIP Compression on Your Mainframe
PKZIP from PKWARE, the creator of the ZIP data management standard, helps save time and valuable mainframe system resources. PKZIP, proven and trusted for efficiently storing and transferring mainframe data throughout the enterprise, has been serving IT managers worldwide for years. And since data no longer stays on the mainframe, PKZIP provides a common format that can be easily and efficiently sent to Windows desktops, IBM midrange, or UNIX/Linux/Windows servers throughout the organization and beyond, to partners, suppliers and customers.
