Reducing telemetry data transmitted from a storage system includes selecting a data reduction algorithm from a plurality of data reduction algorithms, where selection includes eliminating data reduction algorithms that process frames of telemetry data at a lower rate than the frames of telemetry data are generated and applying the data reduction algorithm to the telemetry data. Selecting a data reduction algorithm may include selecting a remaining one of the data reduction algorithms that provides a greatest amount of data reduction. Reducing telemetry data transmitted from a storage system may also include determining if the data reduction algorithm sufficiently reduces an amount of data that is transmitted using a communications channel and removing some of the telemetry data in response to the data reduction algorithm not sufficiently reducing the amount of data that is transmitted. The data reduction algorithms may include data de-duplication and data compression.
