Title
What is Adaptive Compression (New feature in Version 6.5 of LiteSpeed for SQL Server)? -
Description
•Why it’s beneficial:–Adapts to changing server load for best performance–Does not require a static compression level be chosen, that may not work well if server load changes (longer backups) or does not utilize available CPU (larger backups)–Leverages existing CPU for optimal compression while maintaining backup performance–Automatically adapts when CPUs are added or removed on server (VM or physical)•Two Modes of Operation–Optimize for Speed – maintains optimal throughput while leveraging existing CPU resources for the smallest possible backup in the shortest possible time–Optimize for Size – allows for a reduction in backup speed to improve compression while ensuring the backup does not take too long to complete (approx: 35% factor used)•Proprietary algorithm that continually monitors the backup for best performance and adapts to changing conditions by adjusting compression levels dynamically higher or lower to improve compression or to reduce CPU•Enterprise-Edition Only•Supported for backups, Fast Compression, Maintenance Plans, Log Shipping, and Backup Templates
