Storwize offers a set of host-based applications to help storage administrators perform the various activities related to compressing and decompressing the data. Starting from predicting your expected data capacity reduction, followed by compressing your current data and ending with retrieving already-compressed without using the STN appliance.

The PrediSave™ host-based software offers an accurate prediction of the storage capacity savings you can achieve with the Storwize appliance. This is a true ROI assessment tool which does not require a STN-6000p Series installation.
You can have a glimpse in advance of the added value, commitment free.

This host-based utility is used to accelerate the compression of existing uncompressed files. Existing storage data can be selected using the Compression Accelerator to be automatically compressed via the STN-6000p Series.

The Revert host-based utility is used in cases where it is necessary to decompress files previously compressed by the Storwize appliance, without using the actual STN. This could happen, for example, when a file in its compressed form, is sent to another data center (remote site) that does not have the STN-6000p Series installed.
