Abstract

According to one embodiment, a data storage system includes a storage medium coupled to a compression appliance. The compression appliance is operable to selectively compress data that is stored on the storage medium. The compression appliance selectively compresses the data according to a lower compression threshold and an upper compression threshold such that a useful compression level is achieved while balancing processor loading.
