Google has unveiled a tiered storage system for its Spanner database, introducing a new HDD option that is significantly cheaper than the existing SSD option. This new approach aims to optimize costs associated with older, less frequently accessed data while maintaining minimal overhead in data management. The system automatically moves data based on user-defined policies, ensuring that SQL queries can seamlessly access data across tiers. The shift highlights the decreased operational value of older data over time while emphasizing the need for cost-effective storage solutions that do not compromise performance.
Google's new tiered storage for Spanner introduces a cost-effective HDD option that streamlines data management by automatically optimizing older data without performance impact.
The rollout of tiered storage allows businesses to balance functionality and cost by providing SSD for high-performance data while supporting long-term archival with HDD.
