Google Cloud Storage compared to G-Core Storage

Google Cloud Storage

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) has proven itself time over time. They host anything, from very small startups to large enterprise clients, like Nintendo’s Pokemon GO, or basically any NFT marketplace.

Google Cloud Storage was first to introduce Interconnect.

Google Cloud Storage Interconnect facilitates cheap egress costs, from the storage to your CDN supplier. Which means that, when you put a CDN in front of your google cloud object storage, the egress traffic (from google to the CDN) will either be cheap or even free. Essentially, since you’re paying for the bandwidth on the CDN side as well, saving you money on needless costs.

G-Core Storage

G-Core, once a spin-off of Wargaming, has evolved into a full blown hosting company. Initially, G-Core identified itself as a CDN company. But with the Edge Compute trend going on, our guess is that any CDN company will eventually become either a dedicated hosting or a dedicated compute company.

Wargaming specifically uses G-Core’s Storage solution. And we’re sure many other of G-Core’s hosting customers are also utilizing their storage.

The true strength of G-Core lies in its extensive network and their strong presence in Eastern European countries. Like Centurylink, CDN is the core of the company, so you can expect good performance/TTFB (Time to First Byte) on your assets.

G-Core’s in-portal access to support is a key feature. When dealing with problems, their support is fast and helpful.
