Abstract
Storage systems and methods to improve space saving from data compression by providing a plurality of compression processes, and optionally, one or more parameters for controlling operation of the compression processes and selecting from the plurality of compression processes and the parameters to satisfy resource limits, such as CPU usage and memory usage. In one embodiment, the methods takes into account the content-type, such as text file or video file, and select the compression process and parameters that provide the greatest space savings for that content type while also remaining within a defined resource-usage limit.
