vSphere Replication compression methods
- [Instructor] In this video, I'll explain vSphere Replication Compression, and how it can be used to save bandwidth. vSphere Replication Compression was introduced in vSphere 6, and it's supported on any ESXi host that's ESXi 6.0 or later. Now, vSphere Replication is commonly used to copy changed blocks of data to some recovery site, and that recovery site is often connected by a wide area network. Now, these wide area networks typically have limited bandwidth or high latency. So, we can configure vSphere Replication to compress the data that transfers over this network, and save bandwidth. It can also reduce the amount of buffer memory used by the vSphere replication server, because it needs to handle less data. However, this doesn't come without a price. Compressing and decompressing data requires CPU resources at both the source site, and also at the server that manages the target data store. Now, assuming that both hosts are ESXi 6.0 or later, the compression and decompression…
