Compression for Outlook, Exchange and MSMail

Are you aware of how long it takes to transmit a 2MB attachment over a 56/64Kb backbone? Is it any wonder users complain about network performance when people send large attachments?

MaX Compression intercepts attachments sent from Exchange Client, Outlook or MS Mail, and automatically compresses them (using standard ZIP compression). When the attachment is received it will be automatically decompressed.

Transmitting files in zip format will reduce network bottlenecks on inter-server traffic, reduce dial-ups times for remote users and reduce storage requirements.

SPEED, SPEED and more SPEED. The greatest requirement for any automatic compression software is the need for speed, which should be that the user is UNAWARE that any background task is happening to the file they are sending/receiving.

For the mail administrator a configuration program exists to set rules for MaX Compression as used at each client, including:

• Default attachment zip type (i.e. ZIP or Self-Extracting EXE)
• Minimum and maximum file sizes before compressing
• Addressing rules for recipients/locations/channel-type (who should receive ZIP, EXE, not-to-zip)
• Decompress on receipt or opening
• File extensions not to zip (e.g. jpg, zip)
• Maximum size uncompressed and compressed
• Reduce to short filenames.

Client software

MaX Compression integrates seamlessly into a user’s mail client. The user will not be aware of the process of zipping an attachment. The greatest benefit to a user will be the reduction of time in sending and receiving mail as a remote user.

• Messaging client on Win95, Win98 and NT4.0.
• Exchange client.
• Outlook 98, 2000 & XP.
