A request for zEDC documents

We are considering the installation of zEDC in our customer's environment.

Our customer asked us how zEDC work when data compression requests exceed the capability of zEDC cards installed.

We started investigation, but there was no document describing the behavior.

So we tested the behavior of zEDC. Our test results showed that when the data compression requests exceed the capability of zEDC cards installed, the compression process will wait.

We think this behavior should be described in the manuals or the white paper.

So our request is "issue the document that describing this behavior".

    Thank you for your submission. zEDC is now incorporated into the chip without requiring new adapters.
