Data Integrity and Acceleration in Compressed Storage Environments in Combination With Software Defined Native RAID
First Claim
1. A method, in a data processing system, for data integrity and acceleration in compressed storage environments in combination with software defined native redundant array of independent disks (RAID), the method comprising:
- receiving a data portion to write to storage;
dividing the data portion into a plurality of chunks;
performing real-time compression on a given chunk within the plurality of chunks;
determining a compression rate for the given chunk;
determining a RAID level for the given chunk based on a value of the compression rate; and
storing the given chunk based on the determined RAID level.

Abstract
A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for data integrity and acceleration in compressed storage environments in combination with software defined native redundant array of independent disks (RAID). The mechanism receives a data portion to write to storage and divides the data portion into a plurality of chunks. The mechanism performs real-time compression on a given chunk within the plurality of chunks and determines a compression rate for the given chunk. The mechanism determines a RAID level for the given chunk based on a value of the compression rate and stores the given chunk based on the determined RAID level.
