Hardware based GZIP Compression, Benefits and Applications
Tony Summers · 2010
Transferring data packets over a network is more efficient when lossless data compression is applied before transmitting. Storing that same data requires less space if compression is applied prior to writing the data to the storage media. Higher data rates and rapidly expanding storage requirements drive the need for better compression solutions. Power conservation strategies also play an important role today in developing data management systems. Technology advances are enabling products to meet these developing and growing needs.
