SQZ helps to reduce the cost of long term or archival storage massively. We have known for a while that data is valuable and the more data you have the better your company’s odds of success are, but being forced to glean “unnecessary” data can prove to be a mistake down the road. By reducing the size to store your data we can enable you to store more data with existing infrastructure and reduce costs over long periods of time.

SQZ makes moving a lot of data less painful. By compressing the data prior to sending it you can send much more through the same pipeline. It turns out that while the cost per GB in storage is reducing drastically it’s much more difficult to increase the bandwidth of data transmission infrastructure. SQZ allows you to use the same transmission infrastructure, but send more data.

It’s like finding a single needle out off all possible needles that could exist. From a brute force attack perspective the larger the file you compress with SQZ the harder it is for a would be attacker to find. We hide your file amongst all possible files that could exist of the same size, which means you’re data is safe in transit or at rest.
