A client asks for an explanation of client side compression. Which
statement best explains the benefits of client side compression?
Select one:

Compression is performed by the storage hardware, thus conserving

server storage.

Files are compressed by the client before transmission, which conserves

network bandwidth and server storage.
Duplicate data is only stored once - out of band deduplication to the disk
pool, and inline deduplication to directory or cloud pools.

Files are compressed by the server after in-line deduplication for

containers, which conserves network bandwidth when writing to the cloud.
