Last March we announced that NetBackup 7.7 would be one of the first backup and recovery solutions to integrate with Google Cloud Storage Nearline. On July 23, Google Nearline became generally available. Congratulations to Google for reaching this milestone.

Public cloud service providers like the Google Cloud Platform offer compelling advantages to the business. IT organizations must transform their current cost center model into a more agile model that can serve the business more effectively. Those that do not adapt may find themselves at a competitive disadvantage in the marketplace. For many organizations, adopting cloud services and storage is a key part of that strategy.

With more enterprises looking to lower costs and improve agility by exploiting cloud storage, NetBackup 7.7 introduces a newly-designed cloud connector integrated with several cloud storage providers, including the Google Cloud Platform. We have redesigned our S3-compatible cloud connector to better utilize available network bandwidth with parallel data transfer techniques. The results are spectacular. Backups to and restores from certified S3 cloud storage targets are now up to 30 times faster than they were with earlier releases!
