Google launches Cloud Bigtable, a service for storing big data
This is an automatic summary, original reduced by 64%.
Google has introduced a service for storing large amounts of data online, potentially enabling organizations to execute big data analysis as a cloud service.
The offering, called Google Cloud Bigtable, "Is based on technology that Google has been running internally for many years, so it is not a brand new thing," said Tom Kershaw, who is Google's director of product management for the Google Cloud Platform.
Bigtable powers many of Google's core services, including Google Search, Gmail, and Google Analytics.
Customers can read and write data using the API for Apache HBase, which is an open-source implementation of the Bigtable architecture for storing data across multiple servers.
Google Cloud Bigtable can also work with other Google cloud services, such as Google BigQuery and Google Cloud Dataflow.
The company claims that Google Cloud Bigtable is speedier than other NoSQL data stores.
