GC Storage Data Availability

[Evren Eter]

Hello,

I'm new on Google Cloud. I'm interested with Cloud Storage and it's really good. I'm planning to use for all static files. Mine and my customer's. TB's of data.

But I have a question about Data Availability.

Do I need extra backup? Is there any irreversible disaster risk for files (like disk error)? Or GCS provides high level avaibility for files? No need to other backup services? (I'm using europe multiregional buckets)

Thank you for your time.

This is a matter of preference. You can check out some of Google partners that have integrated Cloud Storage with industry-leading products for disaster recovery, backup & archival and hybrid cloud solutions.

 Cloud Storage has multi-regional (geo-redundant) feature with the highest level of availability and performance. Per this thread, it is designed for 99.999999999% durability. Your data is stored on the same infrastructure Google itself relies on.
