FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SqueezePlay Web Server Data Compression - Now Supports Windows Server 2003 Family of Servers; Automatically Compresses Adobe PDF (Acrobat) Files
HOLLIS, NH July 25, 2003 -- Inner Media announces a major update to its SqueezePlay(R) version 2.0 real-time Web Compression software for Microsoft IIS (Internet Information Server). SqueezePlay is an add-on product that automatically reduces the size of outgoing data from web servers. Through a combination of intelligent compression and caching, SqueezePlay dramatically improves server bandwidth utilization, with the dual benefit of speeding up transfers and allowing more visitors quicker access to hosted web pages and data.
SqueezePlay now fully supports the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 family of servers running IIS 6.0, which enforce strict security and installation policies. During SqueezePlay installation, security and metabase settings required by IIS 6.0 are automatically handled, helping administrators avoid tedious manual installation procedures. SqueezePlay's new install process also allows administrators to deploy the SqueezePlay control and monitoring interfaces on any IIS website running on the server -- further enhancing its security and versatility. SqueezePlay remains fully compatible with IIS running under previous Windows Server operating systems ranging from Windows NT 4.0 (SP6a) through Windows 2000 Servers.
Also new with version 2.0 is the ability to automatically compress Adobe Acrobat (.PDF) files, a popular document format. According to Glen Horton, Inner Media's director of Engineering, "PDF files are found all over the web; they are used because they retain page-layout accuracy and are compatible with all operating systems. SqueezePlay automatically compresses PDF files on the way out of the server, with the result that the 'footprint' of the documents (measured in bytes) is greatly reduced. It's a win-win situation, as there is no loss in quality."
This update of SqueezePlay includes enhanced memory management and processing algorithms to increase SqueezePlay's performance with large data files. Administrators are discovering file sizes can quickly grow to more than 100 megabytes in cases where XML-based database synchronizations are generated on the server. These large XML files often compress by a factor of 10 to 1, greatly reducing delivery time.
SqueezePlay is licensed on a per-server basis, with multi-pack license discounts available. The base product (one server) has a suggested retail price of $995 US.
Inner Media, a privately held software publisher in business since 1985, is the manufacturer of DynaZip, the world's leading data compression toolkits. DynaZip's compression engine is running inside every copy of Microsoft's Windows XP operating system and the Windows Server 2003 family of servers.
