Nearline integrates with cloud storage systems and supports seamless management of data lifecycles, enabling businesses to reduce storage costs while ensuring long-term data preservation. The software offers features such as automatic encryption, high availability, and scalability, allowing users to optimize storage for compliance, disaster recovery, and backup scenarios.

Nearline Pricing

Nearline is a software that offers a storage pricing model based on pay-as-you-go usage, where customers are billed monthly according to the amount of data stored and accessed. The pricing structure includes charges for storage volume, read and write operations, and data retrieval, with discounts available for sustained usage and lower prices for infrequent access compared to standard storage options.

    Good platform to use as an IaaS provider with excellent performance and availability.

    Apr 19, 2018
    All core features from Google Cloud like Storage services and compute services work very well with good performance and competitive pricing. However, outages have become more frequent than many years back and also more observable. e.g. we dealt with a wide scale GCS outage in 2017 that we never had experienced in the past.

    Close feedback cycle helped improve the platform to where we needed it to be

    Even though the platform has not been in a state where we needed it to be to start rolling out production use cases, with the help of Google PSO as well as their Product Management and slowly implementing experiments and trials on GCP, we were able to build a close relationship with Google and got the Products in a state that worked for us and other future customers with similar needs.

    A natural cloud partner

    Apr 30, 2018
    We've been happy with the alignment of missions between Google Cloud Engineering. We have a bit unique in having a strong engineering culture and completed some cloud migration planning before partnering with Google in Dec 2017, but Google has been willing to adapt the unique needs.
