Below are some examples of typical space reclamation levels that have been achieved with OneFS inline data reduction efficiency.
These data efficiency space savings values are provided solely as rough guidance. Since no two datasets are alike (unless they are replicated), actual results can and will vary considerably from these examples.
Workflow or data type | Typical efficiency ratio | Typical space savings |
Home directories or file shares | 1.3:1 | 25% |
Engineering source code | 1.4:1 | 30% |
EDA data | 2:1 | 50% |
Genomics data | 2.2:1 | 55% |
Oil and gas | 1.4:1 | 30% |
Pre-compressed data | N/A | No savings |
Tests of various datasets have demonstrated that data efficiency ratios can easily range from 1:1 (no reduction) to over 3:1.
