Stampede TurboGold® AutoZip™ Solutions to Accelerate your Email

AutoZip™

The AutoZip feature of TurboGold Enterprise Edition dynamically converts Lotus Notes databases and mail attachments into industry standard "zip" formats. AutoZip dramatically reduces disk storage requirements and data communications bandwidth within an enterprise. Compression savings of over 85% have been attained and can be higher depending on data content. AutoZip is completely transparent. The process is entirely automatic with no prompting to users asking if the attachment should be zipped. For users running TurboGold Enterprise Edition client software, attachments are dynamically converted to native form prior to being launched, detached, or viewed.

Users accessing database attachments that have been compressed byAutoZip will see no changes in their operation if they are runningTurboGold Enterprise Edition. The unzipping and zipping of databaseattachments will be completely transparent to them. For users notrunning TurboGold Enterprise Edition, native zip handlers in Windows MEand Windows XP will be invoked when the attachment is launched.Alternatively, users will need a commercial zip product such as WinZip,PKZip, WinRar, Zipit to open the attachments.

AutoZip saves both disk space and bandwidth. AutoZip removes surplus data from Notes database attachments allowing NetworkAdministrators to recapture needed disk space and avoid costlyupgrades. In addition, AutoZip helps in the movement of data fromlocation to location by reducing the amount of data that has to betransferred.

AutoZip Server Utility

AutoZip includes a standalone server utility which converts Notes attachments on existing and new Notes databases into more efficient, space saving zip files. This can be done either individually or on all Notes databases stored on a Domino server. For compressing attachments on all Notes databases, AutoZip follows the same convention as the Domino "compact" function. AutoZip can process all Notes databases and all subdirectories spanning partitions and physical disk drives. Any files zipped by this utility can be accessed through TurboGold.
