Managed Databases (RDBMS, NoSQL), Object Storage and Archival
Whatever your storage needs, Google Cloud Platform has you covered. We offer object storage in three flavors for different needs and price points as well as managed MySQL and globally-scalable NoSQL databases. Our archival storage provides industry-leading pricing with the performance of disc.
Google Cloud Storage
Google Cloud Storage is a scalable object storage service suitable for all kinds of unstructured data. It provides you with durable, available, secure and cost-efficient object storage suitable for all kinds of workloads. You can access three different storage options within a single API, each optimized for different use cases such as high throughput streaming, batch data analytics or backup and disaster recovery.
Cloud SQL
Google Cloud SQL is an easy-to-use, fully managed relational database. It handles time consuming management tasks for you, such as applying software patches and updates, managing backups and configuring replication. Cloud SQL uses vanilla MySQL so it’s easy to connect from just about any application, anywhere.
Cloud Bigtable
Cloud Bigtable provides a massively scalable NoSQL database suitable for low-latency and high-throughput workloads. It integrates easily with popular Big Data tools like Hadoop and Spark and it supports the open-source, industry-standard HBase API. Cloud Bigtable is a great choice for both operational and analytical applications, including IoT, user analytics, and financial data analysis.
Cloud Datastore
Google Cloud Datastore gives you an elastic, highly available document-oriented database as a service. It is fully managed so you don’t need to deploy, update, configure, or manage your database solution. Cloud Datastore comes with a rich admin dashboard, a powerful query engine as well as multiple methods to access the database which makes it ideal for mobile and web workloads.
Persistent Disk
Persistent Disk is a high-performance block storage service suitable for Virtual Machines and container storage. It offers unmatched price/performance. You only pay for capacity and you are never charged for provisioned IOPS. Additionally, Persistent Disk offers multi-reader mounts and on-demand volume resizing to simplify operations.
