Abstract
A method for controlling compression based on compression ratio, the method includes monitoring access requests related to a storage entity of a storage system; wherein the access requests are associated with multiple data units; evaluating a compression ratio related to the storage entity; wherein the evaluating comprises applying a first compression process on at least a subset of the multiple data units to provide first compressed data units; serving the access requests without storing, in a permanent storage layer of the storage system, the first compressed data units; and reacting, by the storage system, to the compression ratio.
