Today, enterprise storage must be as agile, elastic, and responsive as the workloads it supports. Filestore, Google Cloud’s first-party, secure, scalable NFS file service, can service a wide-range of enterprise use cases as well as cutting-edge AI and agentic workflows. Today, we’re sharing a major enhancement: Filestore now incorporates a cloud-native backend storage layer built directly on Colossus, Google’s foundational distributed storage system. Leveraging Colossus, Filestore can deliver even greater flexibility and scalability to support the most demanding modern workloads. Colossus: A foundation of global scale As a first-party service, Filestore is positioned to leverage the best of Google’s infrastructure-level innovation. By leveraging Colossus, Filestore now utilizes the same infrastructure DNA that powers Google’s biggest global services, including YouTube, Gmail, and Gemini. This platform-level upgrade enables superior scalability and operational efficiency compared to legacy VM-based architectures, providing a robust foundation for your data. This also allows Filestore to decouple storage capacity and performance. Now you can provision IOPS independently to precisely meet workload demands without having to over-provision capacity, supporting a broad range of workloads — from small developer environments to massive datasets. This decoupled scale is especially powerful when applied to containerized environments. Through the Filestore CSI driver, Filestore delivers persistent, high-performance storage for GKE workloads with enterprise-grade reliability and …
