Abstract
Embodiments for optimizing dual-layered data compression in a storage environment. In a data storage system having a primary compressor implemented in a storage controller and a secondary compressor implemented within a drive-enclosure, the primary compressor is selectively used to perform a first one of a plurality of actions on input/output (I/O) data while a second one of the plurality of actions is performed on the I/O data by the secondary compressor, thereby reducing latency and improving an overall compression performance while processing the I/O data.
