Comtech AHA to Present Tutorial about Compression at SNIA Storage Networking World Conference
The tutorial presented by Comtech AHA will educate users on the benefits of implementing lossless data compression and how it is able to reduce the impact of data being stored to media. The tutorial will also address the issue of how compression serves as a method to greatly increase the efficiency of utilization of storage media. A discussion will be held to define the advantages and disadvantages of the various lossless data compression solutions available for storage applications, including algorithms and the platforms. Participants will learn where lossless data compression should be integrated to provide an efficient method for tomorrow’s storage appliances to perform snapshots and other continuous data protection techniques. It will also show how a storage platform that supports compression will add value and ROI to a storage infrastructure.
