The Case for Host Processor Compression

Overview For most applications, there are significant advantages to using host processor data compression over DASD subsystem data compression. Processor compression results in I/O resource savings, potentially delaying expensive hardware upgrades. Operational benefits of processor compression include reduced elapsed times and improved throughput and response times. Processor compression can optimize savings based on specific data attributes, unlike subsystem compression, which offers no optimization. Processor com-pression eases the impact of the 4 GB VSAM limitation, and will operate on any DASD subsystem. Due to its lack of flexibility and complex storage structure, DASD subsystem compression may introduce undesirable operational impacts and complicate capacity planning efforts.
