Data Storage
Overview
Data storage is one of the largest cost elements within an IT budget. A number of storage providers address this problem by implementing compression. Compression solutions can address the need to reduce the overall size of the data, but do not address the data access speed that many of today’s applications require. WindSpring’s DMT can help address the complexities of implementing a compression solution and answer the following questions:
- How can I reduce storage costs?
- How can I implement a solution that delivers the best compression and performance?
- What happens when I move to the Cloud?
Key issues to address when implementing compression
Storage solutions are especially sensitive to decode and encode speed. While the primary purpose of storage compression is to reduce data cost, users are sensitive to the time taken to upload, store, retrieve and download data. The compressed size also affects the communications costs.
The type of storage affects the relative importance of these factors. Archival storage is more sensitive to compression ratio, whereas online storage is more sensitive to communications speed.
Solution
DMT provides enhanced storage compression, with CODECs available for maximum compression, balanced encode and decode speed and optimized communications. DMT provides special handling of message compression to optimize online communications requests and data transfer. DMT provides tools that enable encode and decode speeds to be balanced with upload and download speeds and overall data compression ratio.
