Zstandard compression

|
A new compression type that supports the compression algorithm called "Zstandard" or "ZSTD" has been added.
Although the compression ratio is basically the same as DEFLATE compression, it operates with a lossless compression algorithm characterized by fast compression and decompression.
In addition, you can reduce consumption of network bandwidth and dramatically reduce transfer time when you transfer large-capacity files.
Furthermore, compared to DEFLATE compression, Zstandard compression has faster compression and decompression.
This compression type can be used for all transfer types (“TEXT”, “BINARY”, “FORMAT”, and “MULTIFORMAT”).
When you select "Zstandard Compression" for Compression Preference in the Send Management Information, you can specify Compression Mode.
For Compression Mode, specify "Speed", "Compression Ratio", or "Default."
Zstandard compression is available when you install one of the following products on both sending host and receiving host:
