Abstract
A method for dynamic data compression includes receiving, at a first computer system, a request for data from a second computer system. A distance factor is determined, based, at least in part, on distance separating the first computer system and the second computer system. A processor loading factor is determined, based, at least in part, on one or more processor utilization percentages of the first computer system, and a network bandwidth factor is determined, based, at least in part, on bandwidth utilization of data transport fabric interconnecting the first computer system and the second computer system. A data compression selection index is calculated, based, at least in part, on the distance factor, the processor loading factor, and the network bandwidth factor. The requested data is compressed, when indicated by the calculated data compression selection index, and transmitted from the first computer system to the second computer system.
