Abstract
A method, system and computer-readable storage medium for transferring data segments from one computer system to a second computing system. Prior to transfer of the data segments, the first system calculates compressibility ratio of each segment and compares the compressibility ratio to a preset threshold. Based on the comparison, the first system assigns a compressibility hint to each segment. The first system transfers the segments to the second system, together with the corresponding compressibility hint. The second system stores each segment in a compressible region or in a non-compressible region based on the hint. Then the second system compresses the compressible region and stores the compressed region in a container, and stores the non-compressible region uncompressed in the container.
