Features
Workload-optimize your storage
With Hyperdisk you can provision capacity and performance independently, so you can dynamically tune storage to your workload. Serve the most demanding applications with 10 GiB/s of throughput and 500,000 IOPS from a single Hyperdisk. Learn how to move to a new compute instance .
Lower TCO and increase your utilization with Storage Pools
With Hyperdisk Storage Pools you can go from managing hundreds of disks to a single Pool, all while reducing your storage TCO by up to 40%. Provision and manage capacity and performance in aggregate, simplifying cloud operations. Use thin provisioning, data reduction, and capacity pooling to increase utilization.
Instantly protect your workloads
Radically shorten your backup window and easily and quickly recover with Instant Snapshots . Provide cross-zone high-availability with low RPO and RTO with Regional Persistent Disk. Take advantage of built-in cross-region disaster recovery, providing geo-redundancy for the most sensitive workloads with Asynchronous Persistent Disk .
Hyperdisk is built on Titanium . Titanium is a system of purpose-built, custom, silicon, security microcontrollers, and tiered scale-out offloads that works by offloading processing from the host hardware. This next-generation technology delivers up to 500k IOPS per instance for Hyperdisk Extreme block storage; the highest among leading hyperscalers.
Common Uses
Benefit from the highest performance for SAP HANA and SQL Server
Use Hyperdisk Extreme for workloads with the highest performance need
Use Hyperdisk Extreme for workloads with the highest performance need
Google Cloud Hyperdisk is the next-generation of block storage for Compute Engine. It offloads and dynamically scales out storage processing, enabling substantially higher performance, flexibility, and efficiency. With Hyperdisk Extreme, you can take advantage of this new technology to run workloads like SAP HANA and Microsoft SQL Server with the fastest single volume performance in the cloud.
Provision IOPS separately from capacity, saving 50% vs Persistent Disk Extreme.
Dynamically provision performance: Adjust performance for running workloads without downtime.

Use thin-provisioning and data reduction to lower your TCO
See TCO savings of up to 40% with Kafka and Hadoop
Use Hyperdisk Throughput for scale-out analytics workloads
Use Hyperdisk Throughput for scale-out analytics workloads
Hyperdisk Throughput offers up to 3 GB/s of throughput with full read/write parity, 7.5x higher write throughput, and 2.5x higher read throughput compared to Standard PD. This level of performance allows you to effectively run your scale-out analytics workloads, such as Hadoop and Kafka.
Substantially higher performance: Up to 3GB/s, 7.5X higher than PD-Standard.
Dynamically provisioning performance: Adjust performance for running workloads without downtime.
