Data Compression

Data compression is a technique used to reduce the size of digital data, making it more efficient to store and transmit. By minimizing the amount of data required to represent a file or signal, data compression enables startups to optimize storage costs, improve data transfer speeds, and enhance overall system performance, making it a crucial consideration for companies handling large volumes of data, such as those in cloud storage, video streaming, and big data analytics.
