Introduction
ZIP/VSE is a ZIP utility for zSeries. The portability and ease of use of the .zip container serves to greatly reduce the logistics and cost of exchanging information efficiently and securely across varying computing platforms and technical competency levels existing within an Enterprise and beyond.

ZIP/VSE facilitates industry standard compression, encryption and presentation formats (e.g., ZIP, GZIP, PGP, CSV); ensuring cross-platform compatibility and exploitation of widely used platform-independent technologies.

ZIP/VSE's native zSeries functionality is generally superior to that of other mainframe compression utilities. In addition, ZIP/390 includes a unique and innovative integrated PC Server component (IpBridge/Connect) for farming off compression/encryption processing and additional functionality. For example, in cases where the data to be zipped is to be transmitted off the mainframe, zipping on the network side (in transit) is logical and beneficial.

Features

Benefits

Compression

ZIP/VSE delivers WinZip, PKZIP, GZIP compatible compression. 

Average compression of 85% to 95% reduces transmission time,  bandwidth usage and storage requirements by the same factor.  Reduced transmission time shrinks the batch window, lowers the odds of costly transmission failures and related job reruns. CRC-Checking adds a level of certification that all data has been received properly... before it is used.

Encryption

ZIP/VSE includes the Data 21 Cryptographic Facility providing AES (128,192,256-bit) Strong Encryption. The cryptographic encryption processing can be performed using ZIP/390 Software Encryption or with CPACF (CP Assist for Cryptographic Functions) Hardware Encryption. PGP and UNPGP support is provided as well via the IpBridge/Connect server component.

Supports encryption for mainframe files as well as encryption for data fields within a file (Credit Card Numbers, SSN Numbers, etc.). Ensures data is secure during both transmission and storage allowing the use of public networks in place of more costly and difficult to implement private networks (e.g., leased lines and VPN's).

Report Delivery

ZIP/VSE delivers files and reports as Zip / GZip files, Adobe PDF, PGP, Tab delimited, and other formats.

Our mainframe delivery and format options allow you to increase value, productivity and ease-of-use for end-users while reducing cost and logistics for IS.
