How does Z-OptimiZr Real-Time for SharePoint work?
The Z-OptimiZr Real-Time Optimization Engine SharePoint Feature:
The Z-OptimiZr Real-Time Optimization Engine SharePoint Feature is deployed globally via its WPS package (The Deployment Server Type is "Front-End Web Server"). The atomic scope of activation of the Z-OptimiZr Real-Time SharePoint Feature is the Site Collection.
Activating the Z-OptimiZr Real-Time SharePoint Feature for a given Site Collection means that the files uploaded to this Site Collection can benefit of the Z-OptimiZr Real Time optimization features.
As for any SharePoint Feature, SharePoint admins can activate the Z-OptimiZr Real-Time SharePoint Feature for as many Site Collections as needed using the SharePoint Central Admin:
Utilities are provided to facilitate the activation of the Z-OptimiZr Feature on large numbers of Site Collections.
Once deployed, the Z-OptimiZr Real-Time Optimization engine WSP package (as well as the Z-OptimiZr Real-Time Admin site WSP package) are both listed in the SharePoint Central Admin Solution Management Panel.
Managed by the Z-OptimiZr Real-Time Admin Web Site:
The Z-OptimiZr Admin web site enables to define different parameter sets (profiles) that can be applied to given SharePoint Site Collections, sites or libraries; for instance, for some given image file libraries the JPG files can be optimized and resized to 1920 x 1080 pixels, while for some other libraries they are optimized without being resized.
Although the Z-OptimiZr Real-Time optimization engine, being provided under the form of a SharePoint feature, is activated / deactivated on a per site collection basis, the Z-OptimiZr Admin web site enables to activate / deactivate the the Z-OptimiZr Real-Time optimization features (Native XML file optimization, Native image file optimization) individually, and if needed, only for some sites or libraries and only for given file types.

What kind of volume reduction results is Z-OptimiZr Real-Time for SharePoint able to deliver?
With Microsoft Office files:

In the above test, the image files were optimized without being resized. Thus the optimized pictures have the same width and height in pixels as the original pictures. And as you will see if you have a look at these files, their rendering quality is fully preserved.

Optimization + resizing to 1920 x 1080:

In the above test, the pictures were optimized and resized smaller to match a HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) frame. Although in this case, the optimized pictures have smaller dimensions than the original pictures, this makes no visual difference to the users displaying these picture on HD screens. The reason is that when displaying pictures larger than the surface of their displays, the Windows photo viewer resizes these pictures automatically to display them (at max) full screen in the HD display frame.
Test for yourself!
With file optimization and compression, the volume reduction results always depend on the content of the files.
Thus the above results have to be taken as examples of what Z-OptimiZr Real-Time for SharePoint, and our other optimization software as well, are able to achieve in terms of native MS Office and picture file optimization.
It is very easy for you to evaluate Z-OptimiZr Real-Time for SharePoint with your own files. All you have to do is to download an evaluation copy, install it (in a few minutes, following the step-by-step instructions of the installation guide) and start using it.
You can also download an evaluation copy of Z-OptimiZr for SharePoint Databases, our other optimization software for SharePoint servers.
The purpose of Z-OptimiZr for SharePoint Databases is to optimize the files already stored in SharePoint libraries. You can run it in test mode (in test mode, it will not modify your existing files) against any SharePoint document or image libraries of your choice. It will tell you the exact amount of disk space it is able to retrieve on the selected libraries and will generate the corresponding csv log files containing all the details for each optimized file.
