With
the increasing number of employees traveling and working from home and
wanting to access their mail, many organizations are now planning for
Outlook Web Access and expect to be using it in the next 12-18 months.
Exchange 2000 has brought with it OWA/2000 a vastly improved
web-client. There
are two MaX Compression applications for OWA, these being:
- MaX
Compression for Outlook Web Access (OWA55)
It is an entirely server based product for
OWA for Exchange 5.5 and offers a subset of MaX Compression
functionality, which includes attachment compression,
decompression, and Smart Mode.
- MaX
Compression for Outlook Web Access (OWA-E2K)
This is a client side implementation of MaX
Compression for OWA, based on Active-X controls. This zips/unzips
attachments sent from/to the OWA client, and lives by the rule set
common to other MaX Compression users.
MaX
Compression for Outlook Web Access (OWA55)
What
are the benefits?
MaX Compression/OWA55 enables users with web-browsers who already
access their Exchange (5.5) system via Microsoft's Outlook Web Access,
to seamlessly send and receive zip files giving them similar benefits
to other corporate (LAN based) users of MaX Compression, including:
- Reduced
average message size
- Reduced
storage and bandwidth requirements
How does
MaX Compression/OWA55 work?
This product is for Exchange 5.5 / OWA5.5 users
only. It is called "Access Module for MaX
Compression/OWA55". It is server based and is installed on the
Internet Information Server. Here it recognizes ZIP files and acts
according to the rule sets defined.
MaX
Compression for Outlook Web Access (OWA-E2K)
What are the
benefits?
This is the really clever version of MC/OWA that enables remote users
to gain from reduced network requirements right down to the desktop.
MaX Comp/OWA-E2K allows an existing OWA user to send/receive all files
in their most efficient form. MaX Comp/OWA-E2K will work with Exchange
(5.5 or 2000) systems, giving them many benefits, including:
- Reduced
average message size
- Reduced
storage and bandwidth requirements
- Full
integration with Smart Mode rule set for maximum efficiency
How
does MaX Compression/OWA-E2K work?
There are two components to this, first an Active-X control that
resides on the remote PC and handles the zip/unzip of attachments.
Secondly, there is a server component helping keep the Smart Mode rule
set updated for the OWA environment.
