Google Cloud presents Autoclass, a solution that facilitates storage management and optimizes costs

Sep 8. (Portaltic/EP) –

Google Cloud has presented auto classa new functionality that facilitates storage management and helps optimize costs, along with other product innovations.

Google’s cloud solutions division held the event this Thursday ‘A Spotlight on Storage’focused on cloud storage, in which it has presented its new products to adapt to the different needs of business customers.

One of the solutions you have presented is auto class, a new feature of its cloud storage service that makes it easier to manage and helps optimize costs. To do this, it automatically moves objects to storage classes more “cold” or more “hot“Based on the time of last access and in accordance with predefined policies, as stated in a statement.

Google Cloud Hyperdisk it is a persistent disk with the ability to adjust the performance of a block storage to the workload. Aimed at businesses, it allows independent IOPS and throughput provisioning for different applications, with the ability to adaptively modify the performance of each application over time.

On the other hand, the new multiple file sharing service of file store for Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) allows administrators to create a Filestore instance and assign it simultaneous shares of portions of storage, across one or thousands of GKE clusters.

Also, the new Storage Insights provides actionable insights into the objects customers have stored in Cloud Storage. In this way, administrators have the information they need to make informed storage management decisions. It can be combined with other products like BigQuery to create specific dashboards.

Finally, Google Cloud has unveiled the new service of ‘Backup’ and disaster recovery, that helps protect the most valuable applications and data, such as Google Cloud VMware Engine, Compute Engine or databases such as SAP HANA.

To do this, this solution allows you to centrally manage data protection and disaster recovery policies directly from the Google Cloud console, and thus protect databases and ‘apps’ “with a few clicks”.

Google has also talked about its storage infrastructure, called Colossus, a cluster-level file system that stores and allows management, and offers storage services such as Cloud Storage, Persistent Disk, Hyperdisk or Filestore.

This infrastructure is combined with a “Google Cloud-exclusive” backbone that has 173 edge locations, which the company says is nearly three times the performance of AWS and Azure.
