Data Reduction Ratio Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Data Reduction Ratio (R) is:

\[ \text{R} = \frac{O - R}{O} \]

Where:

\(\text{R}\) is the data reduction ratio
\(\text{O}\) is the original data size (bytes)
\(\text{R}\) is the reduced data size (bytes)

What is Data Reduction Ratio?

Data reduction ratio is a measure of how much data has been reduced in size after applying a data reduction technique. It is commonly used in data storage and data compression to evaluate the efficiency of the reduction process. A higher data reduction ratio indicates a greater reduction in data size, which can lead to significant storage savings and improved performance in data processing and transmission.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Original Data Size (O) = 1000 bytes
Reduced Data Size (R) = 250 bytes

Using the formula:

\[ \text{R} = \frac{1000 - 250}{1000} = 0.75 \times 100 = 75 \]

The Data Reduction Ratio (R) is 75%.
