Abstract
A method for managing data includes obtaining a compression algorithm selection request for a data object, wherein the data object is generated by a production host, identifying, in response to the compression algorithm selection request, a set of production host performance objectives of the production host, performing a compression algorithm selection analysis using the set of production host performance objectives and a compression selection model to obtain a compression algorithm selection for a compression algorithm, specifying the compression algorithm to the production host using a data agent, wherein the data agent is operatively connected to the production host, initiating a compression on the data object using the data agent by applying the compression algorithm to obtain a compressed data object, and initiating a storage of the compressed data object.
