Symplex Compression


Please contact us for purchasing information and pricing.

Symplex Compression is designed to provide the fastest, most reliable data compression available today.

In addition to its low latency and low CPU cycle consumption, Symplex Compression algorithms run with variable table sizes in order to maximize compression for your specific application and environment.

Symplex Compression gives you lossless compression and exact reproduction of your original data. The Compression Engine constantly adapts to the data passing through it. Tables never get stale or become full.

In addition, compression decisions can be dynamically adapted on a packet-by-packet basis to maximize compression and minimize latency.

Symplex Compression also contains configurable settings, making it possible for you to adapt compression decisions to better match your typical data patterns.
This compression technology was first released in 1983, and has been refined and enhanced over many years. It has an installed customer base of more than 1500 customers which includes about 40% of the Fortune 1000 companies.

To incorporate Symplex Compression technology into your products, we offer the following options:

  • Basic compression library which includes the Compression Engine with a simple callable interface
  • Enhanced compression library which includes the Compression Engine with compression adaptation logic
  • Custom-generated compression library to match your
    processing environment
  • Custom engineering services to adapt Symplex’s compression technology to better match your application and environment
  • Licensed as binary or C source code

Faster and Better
When compared to industry standard STAC (HiFn) compression using the well-known Calgary corpus data set, Symplex’s Compression produces the following results:

  • Compression engine executes 3 to 5 times faster
  • On hard to compress data (2:1 or less), compression achieved is roughly equivalent to STAC
  • On data that is easier to compress (greater than 2:1), compression achieved may be more than twice that of STAC

 

Adaptation Algorithms
Decision logic which uses the Knowledge Base to handle each data block passing through the Compression Engine

Knowledge Base
Constantly updated as data moves through the Compression Engine. Sampled on the way in and updated on the way out

Application Knowledge
Knowledge around the Compression Engine such as data loss detect/recover or adaptation decision communications

Environment Knowledge
Knowledge within the Compression Engine such as buffer system awareness
