Random Access Data Compression Engine (RACE) Architecture

Storwize's Random Access Compression Engine™ (RACE) Architecture enables STN real-time data compression appliances to be:

• Random access/real-time to ensure no performance degradation
• Deterministic for reliable and consistent performance
• Lossless to ensure data integrity

Storwize holds over 35 patents for its RACE technology which is based proven Lempel-Ziv (LZ) data compression algorithms.

The RACE Architecture made up of three components:
