The most successful of these new Big Data mining toolmakers and consultants will likely be those that first master and then advance the technology of data compression.
But he says that with the help of SAP data compression technology that crunches down data by 10-20x, you can now run the largest companies in the world with several years of transactional data in main memory.

With innovative data compression methods, NCBI seeks to reduce the file size of sequence data for any researchers with limited compute capacity.
Data compression addresses the mechanics of packing down information without losing meaning.

The Orange-Baidu browser will provide a more affordable and richer browsing experience for customers across AMEA due to its enhanced data compression capabilities (up to 90% of compression), and one-click access to web-based apps and internet services.

Leveraging an industry-leading feature-set, the Agility 4 SSD series offers superior endurance and reliability without the need for internal data compression (that typically leads to decreased performance of ubiquitous files types).
ENGADGET: Agility 4 SSD from OCZ announced, already in stock at $150
Microsoft said it affected IE with Service Pack 1 installed but only if visiting websites that use data compression and the widely used version 1.1 of the HTTP web protocols.
Combine that with a data compression algorithm, and a large organization can store all of its information in main memory.
FORBES: Innovation, Not Just Reputation, Is Key to Market Success
TokuDB allows these databases to add more data, to improve speed of response to questions of the database, and to reduce the amount of data that needs to be stored and transmitted through excellent compression.
That's far short of the 30 gigabits per second needed for holography, but data compression could circumvent the problem.
However even with data center developments such as compression, virtualization and deduplication the costs of on-line storage exceed that of local storage and the performance of on-line storage is significantly less than local storage.

Among the most important of those is that SimpliVity reduces the volume of data that companies need to store and retrieve through de-deduplication and compression.

The focus of the hardware is to significantly speed up data processing for large, data crunching operations like compression, image recognition, and search functions.
But by using compression software and getting Galileo to record data on its tape-recorder for later transmission, almost all of the probe's objectives have still been achieved.
It was noted that instead of just boosting levels, the unit "fills in the data that was originally trashed during compression" with deeper lows and cleaner highs -- an impressive feat indeed.
By making better use of the UK's existing 16, 000 wi-fi hotspots, which are significantly underused at the moment, and introducing new transmission and compression technologies, Ofcom believes there will be plenty of new capacity to cope with the expected increase in mobile data usage.
This is accomplished by sophisticated control and manipulation of satellite spot-beams, on-the-fly bandwidth allocation from the satellites, and data compression.
FORBES: Cruise Ship Communications for Passengers Is About to Change
The latest deduplication advances automate the process of hunting down multiple files at a very granular level and apply specialized compression algorithms to what remains to shrink your data even further.
