absCompress
System i Data Compression
absCompress compresses
AS/400 objects and files at high-speed to save space
and reduce file transfer time. absCompress has consistently
compressed objects over 80%. Libraries, save files,
native objects, IFS objects, IFS directories, entire
output queues, and selected spool files can be compressed
quickly to a fraction of their original size.
Compress Output Queues and Spool
Files
absCompress can compress entire output
queues or selected spool files from output queues. Spool
files to compress can be selected by JOB, user, time
and date, message queue and more. Entire output queues
or only specific spool files can be “reprinted”
from the compressed file.
iSeries Encryption
absCompress comes shipped with industry
standard and government approved AES encryption. Encrypting
your iSeries data secures it for file transfer, physical
transport and storage. We offer 3 levels of encryption
up to 256 bit. Any iSeries data can be encrypted (LIB,
SAVF, PF, etc.) through absCompress. All the functionality
is supplied to compress and encrypt directly to tape.
Users enter a string known as a
passphrase to encrypt data. Optionally the absCompress
Keyvault feature can be used to assign a user friendly
keyname to a passphrase. This feature provides administrators
the ability to distribute the keyname to users without
divulging the passphrase to unauthorized users. Because
all absCompress functions, including encryption, can be
invoked via command it allows data to be encrypted without
using the passphrase in the command string. The keyname
can only encrypt data; the original passphrase used to
create the keyname is needed to decrypt/decompress the
data.
An optional Windows component called
absCrypt is also available. absCrypt extends your capabilities
of encrypting your iSeries data by enabling it to be decrypted
your PC or windows server. You can use absCrypt to decrypt
the iSeries file and view it or store it on your PC or
Windows Server. absCrypt also allows you to encrypt Windows
files and securely transfer them to your iSeries. Simply
compress any file using a windows compression tool (i.e.
WINZIP) and use absCrypt to encrypt the .zip file you
create. When you successfully transfer the file to your
iSeries, you may then use absCompress to decrypt/decompress
the file. gzip Standard Compatible
Files and objects can be compressed
in an industry standard format to enable transfers to
other platforms, like Windows or UNIX, and inflated
with any Gzip.
History Console
The absCompress history console
can track the details of all compression or decompression
procedures it performs. Start time, duration, original
size, compressed size, and all detail of a command are
recorded. Files and objects can be restored directly
from the history console. Search criteria can be used
to find specific logged procedures. Search criteria
can be a combination of User, Command used, Start Date/Time,
End Date/Time and more.
Configurable Performance
absCompress can be configured
to compress for size or speed. You can select maximum
compression when the size of the compressed file is
most important or less compression when time is of the
essence.
Integration with CPC
Our Cross Platform Commander product
seamlessly interfaces with absCompress to compress and
decompress objects as part of a data transfer.
