whitepaper Data Compression Benchmark and ROI Analysis2009-10-07 PKWare
  Data compression offers a technology solution for increasing the efficiencies and decreasing the costs of storing and transferring critical business information. With average compression rates of 50 percent per file, it makes sense to integrate compression technology into business processes and applications. PKZIP compression solutions offer trusted technologies to help take full advantage of the benefits data compression can bring to the enterprise.

whitepaper Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Data and Backup Compression2008-08-01 Unisys
  Microsoft SQL Server 2008 introduces two new compression features (available in Enterprise and Developer editions) that are of interest to users with large databases. Data compression applies to individual tables and indexes within a database and comes in two options: ROW and PAGE. Backup compression is a new option when backing up a database to external storage. Both compression techniques can be used to reduce the amount of online storage required for databases and their backups.

whitepaper World's 2nd Largest HMO Moves 2-Terabyte BI Data Warehouse to SQL Server 20082008-07-01 Microsoft
  Clalit Health Services serves more than 3.8 million people, and supports 70 million customer interactions per year. Clalit uses the Microsoft Application Platform to support some 16 terabytes of data, including a 2.7-terabyte Business Intelligence (BI) solution that serves as a repository for clinical and operational information. Clalit's Enterprise BI Data Warehouse has become so important to healthcare professionals and clinic managers that the company decided on an early upgrade to Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Enterprise to take advantage of new features including data compression; enhanced star join functionality to improve query performance; the Resource Governor, to help protect query performance; and support for spatial data types to help Clalit incorporate geographic and related data in planning service delivery.

whitepaper Superior AVC HD Encoder Architecture: Single-Slice AVC Encoder Sets an Unprecedented Benchmark in HD Video Quality at Relatively Low Bit Rates2006-09-06 Cisco Systems
  As service providers in the broadcast industry face unprecedented competition for viewers, new encoding technology can be deployed to deliver more content over existing bandwidth to deliver the new, advanced services consumers are demanding. A technologically superior implementation by Scientific Atlanta of the MPEG-4/H.264 Advanced Video Compression (AVC) encoding standard will enable service providers to take advantage of bandwidth savings while delivering the high-quality video experience that High-Definition TeleVision (HDTV) demands through the implementation of single-slice AVC encoding.   
whitepaper Bulky Data Is No Problem Thanks to Compression/Decompression in .NET 2.02006-06-20 JupiterMedia
  Compression is useful for reducing the size of data. Compression is extremely useful in cases where one needs to transmit data over networks, especially slow and costly networks, such as GPRS connections. One of the new namespaces in version 2.0 of the .NET Framework is System.IO.Compression. This new namespace contains two classes for data compression: DeflateStream and GZipStream. Both compression classes support lossless compression and decompression and are designed for dealing with streams.

whitepaper Management Strategy for Network Critical Physical Infrastructure2003-01-01 American Power Conversion (APC)
  When choosing a management solution for the physical infrastructure of IT networks, management of individual devices is necessary in order to have visibility to the many data points required for the reliable operation of network-critical physical infrastructure (NCPI). Element management solutions offer the optimum approach as they manage a particular type of device and have the ability to assimilate and, more importantly, make manageable the large volume of data necessary for network availability. Download this white paper from APC for important information on developing your NCPI management strategy.

whitepaper Compression Algorithm Testing - Making Things Smaller: An analysis of Data Compression Algorithms2002-11-01 Quantum
  This White paper describes the results of testing the data compression algorithms of Super Tape Drives. The testing requirements were to compare the data compression algorithm performance of the SDLT 320 manufactured by Quantum against the Linear Tape Open (L.T.O.) drives from HP, IBM, and Seagate and the Advanced Intelligent Tape drive from Sony.

whitepaper ATSC A/52 - Digital Audio Compression (AC-3)0000-00-00 MP3-Tech
  The goal of the digital compression algorithm is to produce a digital representation of an audio signal which, when decoded and reproduced, sounds the same as the original signal, while using a minimum of digital information (bit-rate) for the compressed (or encoded) representation. The AC-3 digital compression algorithm specified in this document can encode from 1 to 5.1 channels of source audio from a PCM representation into a serial bit stream at data rates ranging from 32 kbps to 640 kbps. The 0.1 channel refers to a fractional bandwidth channel intended to convey only low frequency (subwoofer) signals.

whitepaper How Does Compression Work0000-00-00 MacKiDo
  Many people don't understand compression -- how do you make something smaller? In some ways you don't -- you just encode the data in a more efficient way. This article will explain a few basic types and concepts about data storage and compression. These concepts are far simpler than people realize -- it's just the implementation details can be a pain.
Basically, compression on computers is achieved by looking for commonality (in shape or pattern), and then saving the description of that shape or pattern (using tables or mathematical algorithms) instead of saving the whole image itself. If you don't get it, read on, and it may become more clear.
