Google implemented tiered storage for Spanner which enhances storage technology by using economical HDD levels with uncompromised SQL query execution.

The distributed SQL database Spanner on Google Cloud Platform received a storage revolution from Google through its tiered system launch. The new storage solution incorporates an economical HDD level which offers businesses 80% lower costs than SSD at the same time providing efficient data storage for older data sets.

The storage management system produces reduced costs because it automatically transfers inactive information to HDD files but keeps SSD files for active content. The Google system enables smooth SQL query execution between storage levels while keeping the performance stable.

The experts at Google's storage technology division have stated that data operational importance weakens with age although the need for compliance and reporting increases. Organizations benefit from this storage system by finding ways to combine high performance with economical costs.

The feature can be activated by users defining storage locality groups that determine how long data stays in SSD until an HDD transfer occurs. The policy-based automation streamlines data operations and leads to improved storage capacity effectiveness.

The new storage technology developed by Google Spanner matches industry direction since it directly competes with the storage solutions offered by Amazon DynamoDB. The new feature has become accessible in every Spanner-supported region of Google Cloud.

This latest innovation from Google enhances their cloud storage features through advanced yet budget-friendly solutions which businesses can use for efficient database management with no sacrifice to performance levels.
