Google Cloud Storage Integration
Google Cloud Storage is a cloud object storage service, designed to handle large workloads with no performance overhead. Through a single API, you can access petabytes of data from a given storage class. You can also integrate your data-driven applications seamlessly with your data storage. GCP Storage configures your storage data with a unique Object Lifecycle Management feature, that allows you to automatically transition your data to low-cost storage classes, when it gets past a certain stage, or when you have stored a newer version of that data. You also get to define the access control policies to determine who gets access to your buckets and data objects.
When it comes to storing your business-critical information securely, Google Cloud Storage stands apart from the rest.
