OD77 vs OD77HW

[cmodpuser]

We have all apps defined with OD77 compression for CMOd of z/OS. Can OD77 HW be used for z13? What are the hardware requirements for OD77HW? Would that offer performance benefits.
We do not have zEDC cards.

Hello cmodpuser ---

You need to review this:

It has all of the commands to issue to see if you're set up for hardware compression.

I found these charts interesting reading on zEDC  (zSeries Enterprise Data Compression):
