Optimize SQL Server storage

SQL Storage Compress is a storage efficiency tool designed to silently compress live databases by up to 90%, so you can make the most of your available infrastructure. It is powered by HyperBac's original filter driver compression technology, which is industry-proven with customers in the Fortune 100, FTSE 100 and government, healthcare, financial and technology sectors. SQL Databases compressed with SQL Storage Compress are fully functional and behave like normal, uncompressed databases, but with a much smaller storage footprint.

Features

• Silent data compression
  SQL Storage Compress lets you run live databases direct from compressed files. Transactional consistency, durability and fault tolerance are all maintained, and read and write operations are fully supported.
• Data only restores
  Most databases contain unallocated space to allow for data expansion. Restores run through SQL Storage Compress eliminate the extra space this takes up, so you can restore your data without taking up more space than you need.
• Reduction of read/write I/O
  SQL Storage Compress enables you to reduce the read/write I/O so you can increase the transaction throughput.
• Storage optimization
  Compress your database by up to 90% and make the most of the storage available to you. You can even restore to systems that don't have room for the uncompressed version of your database.
• Seamless integration
  SQL Storage Compress integrates seamlessly with SQL Server and does not require any configuration changes. It takes just one command to compress an entire database.
• Faster runtime
  Running a compressed database with SQL Storage Compress can save you up to 90% of your normal application data usage, meaning that in many cases your application is running faster and more efficiently.
• Bandwidth reduction
  Working with compressed files means less bandwidth consumption when migrating files across a network, without any loss of functionality.
• Work across SQL Server editions
  SQL Storage Compress offers compression for all editions of SQL Server, from 2000 to 2008 R2.
