Abstract
Methods, computing systems and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that include configuring a storage system to store multiple storage entities for access by one or more host computers in communication with the storage system, and specifying a compression condition including a minimum compression ratio. The storage system can then estimate an expected compression ratio for a given storage entity, compress the given storage entity upon the expected compression ratio meeting the compression condition, and provide, to a given host computer, access to the compressed given storage entity.
