Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) recently launched its low cost Cloud storage service called Nearline and a lot of hype is ongoing on the web about the tough competition it will give to Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) Cloud services. But a deep analysis has shown some problems with the new Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Cloud storage service. An article on Forbes said that Google Nearline has a scaling problem. Although the search engine giant argues that its new service has a high latency, this latency when scaled to big data storage in hundreds of terabytes, becomes a huge problem.
The source did some calculations and proved that for every 1 terabyte of data download, Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Nearline service will take no less than 69 hours— which practically means service failure— whereas Amazon Glacier service will take around 4-5 hours to download one terabyte of data. The source went on to say that Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) has intentionally claimed falsely about the speed of its new service. Most of the experts around the web were comparing Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Amazon Cloud services and some went on to say that Google will outperform Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), but the source thinks that that was all because of smart Google marketing skills.
Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Nearline is also most costly than Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) Cloud storage. Amazon Glacier allows its user to retrieve 5% of the data for free whereas Google will charge on every retrieval.
Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) storage service cannot match Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) because the e-commerce giant is far more experience in this domain.
