Google Cloud Advanced Performance Storage Pools

Hyperdisk Storage Pools dynamically allocate as programs read and write data, simplifying performance planning and administration and increasing resource consumption

Clients have struggled to reconcile block storage performance resources with workload resources

Customers will configure block storage at the highest performance they have seen to ensure their workloads are never performance-starved

Since these workloads' steady-state performance is half their allotted performance, they operate at 40–45% performance utilization outside of a pool

Infrastructure managers have historically had to decide between risking application failure by optimizing operational efficiency or accepting poor utilization

An Advanced Performance Storage Pool’s disk IOPS and throughput are thin-provisioned

Early adopters of Advanced Performance Storage Pools, like REWE, have recognized the benefits of the product
