Competitive Analysis –<br />

Hardware Based Compression<br />

<strong>Oracle</strong><br />

<strong>Database</strong> specific compression<br />

algorithm<br />

Fine grained compression –<br />

compress at tablespace, table or<br />

partition level<br />

Improved read performance in<br />

several cases – no<br />

decompression overhead<br />

Improved memory efficiency -<br />

data stays compressed in<br />

memory<br />

Batched algorithm for minimal<br />

compression overhead<br />

Benefits automatically cascade to<br />

all environments<br />

Hardware Compression<br />

Generic compression algorithm -<br />

deficient for databases<br />

No fine grained compression -<br />

compress at file level<br />

Poor read performance –<br />

significant decompression<br />

overhead<br />

No memory benefits - data needs<br />

to be decompressed<br />

Data updates are very expensive<br />

Benefits limited to specific<br />

hardware environment
