Google on Wednesday launched a public beta version of Nearline Storage, the latest addition to the Google Cloud Platform. Nearline seeks to reel in enterprises to the wider Google Cloud Platform with the promise of low-cost, low-latency storage for limitless amounts of data. Nearline has all of the benefits of offline, or “cold,” storage, but the data it houses is available in a matter of seconds instead of hours, according to Avtandil Garakanidze, a product manager for the Google Cloud Platform.
