25.10 Compression during Data Transfer

The Compression Level setting controls whether data is compressed during transmission between the source and target workloads, and the level of data compression applied.See Data Compression.

Select one of the following options:

  • None: No compression.

  • Fast: Consumes the least CPU resources on the source, but yields a lower compression ratio.

  • Optimal: (Default) Consumes optimal CPU resources on the source and yields an optimal compression ratio. This is the recommended option.

  • Maximum: Consumes the most CPU resources on the source, but yields a higher compression ratio.
