In addition to using Rocket, compression can make your file transfers even more efficient. Moving large amounts of small files increases overhead in the transfer process. This unnecessarily slows your transfer time as files queue up in Rocket waiting their next turn. The extra time transfer computers spend managing a lot of files is reduced by using compression.
1. First move the files into a folder and compress it using your preferred compression utility.
2. Transfer the compressed folder (with its contents) to the destination storage using Enterprise Rocket.
3. Once it arrives, expand (uncompress) the folder along with its contents.
While it takes time to pack and unpack the compressed files, it's significantly faster when compared to transferring uncompressed files. The Rocket transfer servers will need to manage fewer files and the transfer queue is greatly reduced.
Picture the extra effort of a moving company managing a separate box for each kitchen utensil, rather than having one box hold all the kitchen utensils that gets unpacked together upon delivery.
Compression effectively puts your files into one box.
7-Zip
Enterprise workstations include a file compression/extraction tool called 7-Zip. It can be found in the App Launcher section of the Enterprise Dashboard on your Virtual Machine. It will extract or compress most compressed file formats.
