IBM Real-time Compression™ takes storage efficiency to a new level
Available for both block and file-based storage arrays, this state of the art storage efficiency technology is designed to improve efficiency by compressing data as much as 80 percent, enabling you to store up to five times as much data in the same physical disk space – with no performance degradation.
Unlike other approaches to compression, IBM Real-time Compression is designed to be used with active primary data such as production databases and e-mail applications. IBM Real-time Compression reduces acquisition costs, power and cooling costs and rack space throughout the life of the system.

Integrated solutions
- IBM Storwize V7000 with IBM Real-time Compression enables storage of up to five times as much active primary data in the same physical space
- IBM SAN Volume Controller deploys technologies in concert to deliver extraordinary levels of storage efficiency, including thin provisioning and IBM Real-time Compression
Appliances for NAS
- IBM Real-time Compression Appliance STN7800 can be customized with multiple 10 Gb and 1 Gb Ethernet ports to support high throughput NAS requirements. This new appliance handles larger, more complex NAS environments.
IBM Real-time Compression benefits
- Efficient by design: Just turn it on, it’s 100% transparent for systems, storage, and applications. Delivers reduced storage requirements for online, active primary data with no performance degradation
- Patented technology: Able to compress data when it is first stored so you send less physical data to storage systems. Transparent to your business applications and IT processes, it works best with active primary data that isn’t already compressed—even complementing your deduplication, virtualization and high availability solutions.
- Real-time efficient operation: Supports the performance and accessibility requirements of business-critical applications because data is compressed up to 80% in real time, allowing you to store up to 5 times more data in the same physical space.
- Less Cost, Greener: Cost reduction benefits carry throughout the storage lifecycle: less storage to power, cool, and manage means less cost and a greener data center.
