Handle Simultaneous Transaction Workloads and Data Mart Loads with Better Performance (Infographic)

Compression algorithms reduce the number of bits needed to represent a set of data—the higher the compression ratio, the more space this particular data reduction technique saves. During our OLTP test, the Unity array achieved a compression ratio of 3.2-to-1 on the database volumes, whereas the 3PAR array averaged a 1.3-to-1 ratio. In our data mart loading test, the 3PAR achieved a ratio of 1.4-to-1 on the database volumes, whereas the Unity array got 1.3 to 1.
