Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to evaluation and storage of data in a computer system configured with a shared pool of resources. A multi-level adaptive compression technique is employed to minimize the cost of data storage based upon the type of data being stored and their access pattern. The costs of data storage include capacity, bandwidth, and compute cycles. Data is transformed local to a client in communication with the shared pool, local to the shared pool, or as a combination with a partial transformation local to the client and a partial transformation local to the shared pool.
