Abstract
Exemplary embodiments for storing data by a processor device in a computing environment are provided. In one embodiment, by way of example only, from a plurality of available data segments, a data segment having a storage activity lower than a predetermined threshold is identified as a colder data segment. A chunk of storage is located to which the colder data segment is assigned. The colder data segment is compressed. The colder data segment is migrated to the chunk of storage. A status of the chunk of storage is maintained in a compression data segment bitmap.
