Abstract
Energy aware data compression is disclosed. A storage array may receive data from a client to be compressed. The storage array may request information from a compression awareness engine that is configured to estimate compression times in the context of energy source and energy cost. The storage array makes a decision to compress the data based on the estimates or response received from the compression awareness engine. The data is then compressed and stored in the storage array.
