Configuring data compression
Data compression is a Data ONTAP feature that enables you to reduce the physical capacity that is required to store data on storage systems by compressing the data blocks within a FlexVol volume
or an Infinite Volume
. You can use data compression only on volumes contained within 64-bit aggregates.
You can use data compression on primary, secondary, and tertiary storage tiers.
