AutoZip™

The dramatic increase in email messages along with the number and size of their attachments strains a company's bandwidth and server storage. But now TurboGold's AutoZip function reduces disk storage requirements dramatically on Domino servers while maximizing bandwidth usage. It does this by dynamically converting Lotus Notes databases and mail attachments to Zip format. AutoZip works behind the scenes to automatically Zip and unZip attachments so users don't waste time initiating the process. And AutoZip also comes with an add-in utility that can automatically convert existing attachments. Click below to learn all the details.

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 by AutoZip will see no changes in their operation if they are running TurboGold Enterprise Edition. The unzipping and zipping of database attachments will be completely transparent to them. For users not running TurboGold Enterprise Edition, native zip handlers in Windows ME and 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 Network Administrators to recapture needed disk space and avoid costly upgrades. In addition, AutoZip helps in the movement of data from location to location by reducing the amount of data that has to be transferred.

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.
