Compression for SRDF is already supported and known as SRDF compression. SRDF compression is a feature designed to reduce bandwidth consumption while sending data to and from systems connected using remote replication. SRDF compression and the Adaptive Compression Engine (ACE) both use the same compression module; however, they serve different purposes. Data that has been compressed using ACE is uncompressed before being sent across the SRDF link. If SRDF compression and inline compression apply, the data is uncompressed by the module and then compressed using the SRDF compression function and then sent to the remote site.
