Summary:Methods, computing systems and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that include configuring multiple storage system resources to manage a storage entity distributed among the storage system resources. Upon receiving, by a first given storage system resource from a host computer, an I/O request for data in the storage entity, a second given storage system resource responsible for managing the storage entity data referenced in the I/O request is identified, and the I/O request is forwarded to the second given storage system resource. Upon receiving the forwarded I/O request, the second given storage system resource performs a data compression operation while processing the I/O request, and conveys a result of the I/O operation to the first given storage system resource. Upon receiving the result from the second given storage system resource, the first given storage system resource forwards the result to the host computer.
