Google upgrades apsaradb: more storage and faster reading

Google updated its cloud services again in November 8 and launched a new version of MySQL on the cloud. The new version gives users GB of storage, 10 times the 10 Gb limit of earlier versions. At the same time, the new database infrastructure will be able to use 16 gb ram. The Goolge enterprise blog also learned that, 4 times ahead of the previous High-speed cache, this means faster database reading.

Enhanced functionality: Provides asynchronous options to speed up database writing. Product Manager Joe Faith wrote in his blog: "We have added the optional asynchronous response function, which grants the write performance and reliability of Relicated databases to non-Relicated databases at the same time ."

At the same time, the customer can choose one of the US or EU data centers to run Cloud SQL-storing private data through data centers outside the EU will help reduce the tension for European enterprises to break data protection rules.

The final addition serves companies that use the Google App-they can now use Cloud SQL to share the same with other cooperation projects, such: publish and share data on Google Sheets, add data on Google Sites pages, or create simple Google Forms without worrying about hosting or configuring servers.

This shows that Google is increasingly focusing on infrastructure business beyond search, and Amazon, the king of public cloud, has seen this. Earlier in the last week, it lowered the price of Relational Database Service (RDS) and sued former AWS sales director for joining Google. The road to challenge the king is hard, but fortunately it is never alone-Clouscaling announced earlier that the private cloud based on OpenStack will extend to both AWS and Google public cloud.
