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