Abstract
Various embodiments for data compression by a processor. Levels of data distribution are configured for data processing, including a first level of the data distribution incorporating a GRID network of data storage nodes, and a second level of the data distribution incorporating a GRID network of compressive nodes in communication with the GRID network of data storage nodes. Input/output (I/O) for an associated storage volume is load balanced between the data storage nodes, as data passes through the first level into the second level to be compressed or uncompressed.
