Google Cloud Platform for the first time is bringing managed network attached storage (NAS) service capabilities to its offerings, which cloud storage portfolio includes Persistent Disk, a network-attached block storage service and a distributed system for object storage.

While Cloud Filestore is to serve the need for file workloads, and is targeted at organizations with rich unstructured content and low latency and input/output operations per second (IOPS) applications, such as content management systems (CMSes), web hosting and virtual workstations.

It affords organizations an alternative to using on-premises machines and on-premises files for service rendering, such as media companies with lots of distributed workloads; the most common been render farms, who require big compute job to either render the animation or render the special effects on a movie.

And managed Network File System (NFS) offering like Cloud Filestore, provides a number of VMs working on the data to do the required updates.

Google has also launched Transfer Appliance to make it easier for companies to move data into its cloud storage, with the rackable storage server designed to move large amounts of data out of enterprise data centers to Google Cloud.

Cloud Filestore will enter beta this month, with the Premium tier available at $0.30 per GB per month, while the Standard tier is $0.20 per GB per month. The Cloud Filestore Premium will offer up to 700 MB/s throughput and 30,000 IOPS, regardless of instance capacity.
