Google Cloud Filestore

Scales to meet high performance needs: Filestore offers low latency storage operations for applications. For workloads that are latency sensitive, like high performance computing, data analytics, or other metadata intensive applications, Filestore supports capacity up to 100 TB and throughput of 25 GB/s and 920K IOPS.

99.99% regional availability SLA: Filestore Enterprise is built for critical applications (e.g., SAP) requiring regional availability to ensure the applications are unphased in a zonal outage. Avoid the need to rewrite your applications, and jump start your migration to the cloud.

Protect your data with backups and snapshots: Filestore offers instantaneous backups and snapshots to help you protect your data easily. Back up data and metadata of the file share, set up a regular backup schedule, or take snapshots of your instances anytime you need. When it comes to recovering your data, recover some or all of your data from a prior snapshot recovery point in 10 minutes or less.

Support GKE workloads with Filestore: For apps running in GKE that require file storage, the fully managed NFS solution supports stateful and stateless applications. With an integrated and managed GKE Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver, multiple pods can have shared file system access to the same data.

Scale GCVE datastore capacity independently from compute: Filestore Zonal and Filestore Enterprise are VMware-certified as an NFS datastores with Google Cloud VMware Engine. Right-size vCPUs and storage capacity independently to meet compute and storage requirements for your storage intensive VMs. Leverage vSAN for low latency VM requirements and scale Filestore from TBs to PBs for the capacity-hungry VMs.

Enterprise application migrations (SAP): Many on-premises applications require a file system interface. We've made it easy to migrate your enterprise applications to the cloud with our fully managed storage service. Filestore Enterprise is built for critical applications requiring regional availability and having unstructured NFS data requirements.

Data analytics: Compute complex financial models or analyze environmental data with Filestore. As capacity or performance needs change, easily grow or shrink your instances as needed. As a persistent and shareable storage layer, Filestore enables immediate access to data for high-performance, smart analytics without the need to lose valuable time on loading and off-loading data to clients’ drives.

Genomics processing: Genome sequencing requires an incredible amount of raw data, on the order of billions of data points per person. This type of analysis requires speed, scalability, and security. Filestore meets the needs of companies and research institutions performing scientific research, while also offering predictable prices for the performance.
