Compression/Encryption service

The Compression/Encryption service compresses object data to make more efficient use of HCP storage space. The space reclaimed by compression can be used to store additional objects.

Depending on the types of objects stored, compression can provide a significant benefit. For example, email objects compress very well.

The Compression/Encryption service runs according to the active service schedule.

Note: The Compression/Encryption service does not compress object data if:

The data is stored in a namespace that has S Series storage set as the ingest tier.

The data is stored on extended storage.
