PowerProtect Data Manager 19.13 Google Cloud Platform Deployment Guide

GCP data-transfer costs

Google charges a monthly fee based on the amount and types of data transferred by PowerProtect Data Manager and DDVE in a Google cloud.

Consider the following information when planning your GCP architecture:

  • Most of the data that is transferred in a Google cloud occurs between the hosts being protected and DDVE.
  • If Kubernetes is being used, data is also transferred between the protection engine hosts and DDVE.
  • Google does not have data-transfer fees for hosts that are in the same region.
  • For current details of all Google data-transfer costs and other fees, see the Google Cloud Pricing Calculator.
NOTE: To minimize data-transfer costs, minimize the path that data transfers take by using as few zones and regions as possible.

An example of data transfer

The following items describe a possible data-protection scenario where the hosts being protected and storage are in different regions:

  • Outbound data transfers in the Central US region
  • Twenty 100 GB databases that each have a daily change rate of 5 percent
  • Weekly full backups
  • Daily incremental backups and archived-log backups
  • An average deduplication ratio of 2:1 for initial full backups and for incremental backups
  • An average deduplication ratio of between 20:1 and 30:1 for subsequent full backups

This data-protection scenario would result in approximately 3,600 GB of data transfer in the first month.

NOTE: Different regions have different data-transfer costs. For more information, see All network pricing and Network Service Tiers geolocations.
