How SSD Data Reduction Can Help Enterprises
SearchStorage, March 9th, 2023
Data reduction techniques have been difficult to achieve on SSDs, but vendors appear to be making progress. The more effective the data reduction, the more affordable SSDs become.
While data reduction in storage used to have a backup focus, vendors now commonly include the technologies in their flash-based systems.
The superior performance that SSDs offer over HDDs has made it possible to use data reduction techniques even in primary storage systems that support mission-critical applications. Vendors have also improved their data reduction techniques for better efficiency and to help minimize the impact on performance.
