Data Domain Filesystem Compression
Use Quick Search to find a template, report or dashboard by name. Search is case insensitive, supports partial entries, and will display a list of potential matches.
As you enter the name in the Quick Search field, up to 10 potential matches are displayed. If the template, report or dashboard is shown, you can select and run it directly from the match list. You can also click All Items in the match list to go directly to the Search Results.
Use the Explorer to browse through the StorageConsole templates, dashboards and reports. The navigation pane displays templates organized by products along with user created, and system folders. This report is located here:

Use this report to view a bar chart of the last day’s (24 hours) compression statistics, both data sent before compression and also the actual physical space used. These statistics provide insight into how well compression is working during that time period.
Used | Actual amount of space in use. |
Sent (pre-comp) | Amount of data sent prior to compression is represented by the yellow bar in the graph. |
Global Comp | Use this value to determine de-duplication efficiency. Represented by the triangle, the Global Compression factor is derived from the pre-compression (data sent before compression) divided by the size after de-duplication. |
Local Comp | The Local Compression factor (file compression) is represented by the circle. This value is derived from the size after de-duplication divided by the space used. |
Total Comp | Represented by the square, the Total Compression factor is derived from data sent divided by space used. |
