Simplivity and SQL Databases

[DougHydier]

This is actually a simplivity question but I do not see a forum for simplivity.

I was told by a simplivity technician that sql server databases do not compress on simplivity storage. Is this true?

Hi,

This has nothing to do with Simplivity as such but with the data inside the database... Most of the time (but like I said it depends of the data...) data in databases are not ideal (just like video's) for deduplication and/or compression...

This is the same with 3PAR dedup and compression and all other storage platforms... It's all about the data...

Kr,
