The new versions of PKZIP and SecureZIP for z/OS provide Moreover, it includes the cost reduction capabilities of PKZIP and is also interoperable so that data encrypted on the mainframe can be decrypted and used on other operating systems, providing users comprehensive data protection across all major enterprise computing platforms. SecureZIP for z/OS also leverages existing investments in hardware cryptography within the mainframe environment. SecureZIP for z/OS is an optimal solution for providing durable data security to protect privacy, whether data resides on z/OS or is in motion to other platforms. The PKZIP family of products is interoperable so that data zipped and compressed on the mainframe can be unzipped and extracted on all major enterprise computing platforms. This improves overall data center operations and significantly reduces costs. PKZIP for z/OS provides file management and data compression, resulting in more efficient data exchange through reduced transmission times and storage requirements. "We are committed, with each new release, to provide a product that allows our customers the maximum opportunity to not only leverage the z/OS capabilities IBM offers, but to improve their overall data center operations." "PKWARE is an IBM PartnerWorld Advanced Partner and is committed to serving the needs of the mainframe z/OS community," said Joe Sturonas, Chief Technology Officer for PKWARE. Users of the IBM z/OS mainframe looking to further enhance its ability to maximize data center efficiency will find that new versions of PKZIP and SecureZIP for z/OS provide a solution with unparalleled usability.
MILWAUKEE - PKWARE, Inc., a leading provider of data-centric security and compression software, today announced the latest version 12 release of PKZIP and SecureZIP for z/OS on System z. PKWARE® Announces Latest Release of PKZIP® and SecureZIP® for IBM® z/OS® Also, data encrypted on mainframe can be decrypted elsewhere for data protection across all major enterprise computing platforms. Both programs allow data zipped and compressed on mainframe to be unzipped and used on other operating systems. PKZIP® for z/OS provides file management and data compression features to minimize transmission time and storage requirements, while SecureZIP for z/OS provides security for data on z/OS system or in motion to other platforms.
