Abstract
One or more aspects of the present disclosure relate to increasing the performance of a storage array using activity and compressibility-based data compression. In embodiments, an input/output (IO) workload is received at a storage array. Additionally, at least one address space of at least one logical storage device with an IO activity corresponding to an activity characteristic and compressibility corresponding to a compressibility characteristic is identified. Further, if a data reduction requirement (DRR) of the storage array is unsatisfied, IO write requests of the IO workload targeting the identified address spaces of each logical device are compressed.
