ALL DATA REDUCTION IS NOT CREATED EQUAL

VAST Data’s Universal Storage employs advanced, similarity-based data reduction techniques that go beyond traditional compression and deduplication. VAST uses data-aware compression optimized for numeric data by separating and storing significant bytes separately and applying delta encoding to store only differences between values, enhancing compression especially for sensor and instrument data. Unlike standard fixed-block systems, VAST’s Element Store writes variable-sized compressed blocks without waste, boosting usable capacity.
