2013 Year in review: bringing Offline Disk Import to users around the world
Wednesday, December 18, 2013
2013 was a busy year for Google Cloud Platform. Watch this space: each day, a different Googler who works on Cloud Platform will be sharing his or her highlight from the past year.
In October 2013, we made Google Cloud Storage Offline Disk Import available to users in
several international locations
around the globe in limited preview. It is personally gratifying to witness how GCS Offline Disk Import enabled our customers to efficiently import tons of data to their GCS bucket without having to upload it over a slow or unreliable Internet connection. As we’ve built this product, it’s been fascinating to tap into the scalability and efficiently of the
OmNomNom StreetView infrastructure
, which is the backbone of GCS Offline Disk Import. I’m excited to bring these impressive systems and capabilities to our Google Cloud Platform customers.
