US Patent:

20190339876, Nov 7, 2019

Filed:

May 3, 2018

Appl. No.:

15/969902

Inventors:

- Armonk NY, US
Laura Richardson - Tampa FL, US
Dave Aime Desire Kodjo - Sainte-Marthe-Sur-Le-Lac, CA
Lisa M. Chavez - Placitas NM, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/06

Abstract:

A method, computer system, and computer program product for determining whether data compression should be performed at a storage virtualization layer or a backend layer, within a storage area network, including assessing a volume of data to decide whether the volume of data should be compressed or is already compressed, and in response to deciding that the volume of data should be compressed: checking whether a restriction exists on the volume of data, and in response to deciding that the volume of data is already compressed: determining that the volume of data already compressed should be uncompressed based on at least one metric.

Abstract:

Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The method computer program products, and systems can include, for instance: examining information of first through Nth storage volumes and based on the examining providing for each storage volume of the first through Nth storage volumes a predicted storage space savings value, the predicted storage space savings value indicating a predicted terabyte volume of storage space savings producible by performance of data compression of data stored on the storage volume; predicting a per terabyte compression cost savings associated with compressing one or more storage volume of the first through Nth storage volumes, and providing a ranking of storage volumes of the first through Nth storage volumes based on the examining and the predicting; and scheduling a compression of storage volumes of the first through Nth storage volumes based on the ranking of storage volumes of the first through Nth storage volumes.
