Why does HEROware provide compression as an option and not just have it always on?
A. While compression of transmitted data can have a very positive impact on the data protection solution, it is not always optimal to utilize it, for a few different reasons. Compression requires additional processing which results in higher CPU usage. While some servers and applications can allow for this, there may be some where this is not acceptable. For this reason, HEROware chose to allow its customers to determine when and where compression is suitable for their business and their data. HEROware not only allows users to configure compression for on or off, but also allows users to set compression to one of three different levels, depending on the particular data being replicated. As the leader in enterprise data protection solutions, HEROware provides the flexibility to meet the varying needs of its customers by allowing them to choose the level that is right for them.
