British company SISP Technologies is launching CompressionX, a data compression tool that claims to reduce file size by 65% without any loss. The tool is also being touted as helping companies reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.
According to the company's blog, global data creation is rapidly growing and will exceed 180 zettabytes by 2025, leading to significant demand for data storage and energy. According to experts, data centers alone will be responsible for 8% of carbon emissions by 2030, and CompressionX is being touted as a solution to this problem.
By reducing the amount of storage required, companies can reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, which SISP believes makes CompressionX and other compression tools a key player in any forward-looking green strategy.
CompressionX, on the other hand, offers GDPR-compliant archiving, XChaCha20 encryption, and compatibility with .zip and .7z formats. In addition, the company claims that its tool uses an adaptive algorithm that can outperform older systems by analyzing file structures more intelligently.
The problem with CompressionX compared to the alternatives is that some important features and capabilities, such as support for .zip and .7z files, are hidden behind a paid subscription, which costs £3.99 per month. In the free version, users will only be able to compress 25GB of data and will experience slightly worse performance.
