<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Host</span> <a href="https://twitter.com/stephr_wong"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Stephanie Wong</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">chats with storage pros Sean Derrington and</span> <a href="https://twitter.com/NishantKohliIoT"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nishant Kohli</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">this week to learn more about cost optimization with storage projects and exciting new launches in the Google Cloud storage space!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To start, we talk about the Storage Spotlight of years past and the cool Google Cloud products that Google is unveiling this year. Optimization is a huge theme this year, with a focus not only on cost optimization but also performance and resource use as well. Enterprise readiness and storage everywhere, Sean tells us, are the most important pillars as Google continues to improve offerings. We learn about Hyperdisk and the three customizable attributes users can control and the benefits of Filestore Enterprise for GKE for large client systems.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nishant talks about Cloud Storage and how clients are using it at scale for their huge data projects. Specifically, Google Storage has been working to help clients with large-scale data storage needs to optimize costs with Autoclass. Storage Insights is another new tool launching late this year or early next year that empowers better decision-making through increased knowledge and analytics of storage usage.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">GKE storage is getting a revamp as well with Backup for GKE to help clients recover applications and data easily. Google Cloud for Backup and DR helps keep projects secure as well. This managed service is easy to use and integrate into all cloud projects and can be used with on prem projects and then backed up into the cloud. This is ideal for clients as they shift to cloud or hybrid systems. Companies like Redivis take advantage of some of these new data features, and Nishant talks more about how Autoclass and other tools have helped them save money and improve their business.</span></p> <h5><strong>Sean Derrington</strong></h5> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sean is the Group Product Manager for the storage team. He is a long time storage industry PM veteran; he’s worked on Veritas, Symantec, Exablox (storage startup).</span></p> <h5><strong>Nishant Kohli</strong></h5> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/NishantKohliIoT"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nishant</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">has a decade plus of Object Storage experience at Dell/EMC and Hitachi.
