Explanation
Do not configure storage-saving functionalities such as compression, deduplication, or erasure coding (EC-X) on a storage container that holds production database files. Because of the way the SAP HANA Persistence Engine stores data, these features deliver no benefits. Nutanix SAP Engineering has tested compression with SAP HANA workloads; the tests indicate no noticeable performance impact but also show no reduction in the space the SAP HANA workload consumes.
