This page provides pricing details for Google Cloud NetApp Volumes.

NetApp Volumes storage pool pricing costs depend on a few key factors:

• Service level: Your chosen service level significantly impacts pricing. Options include Flex Zonal, Flex Regional, Standard, Premium, and Extreme.
• Region: The geographical location where your storage pool is set up also affects the cost.
• Storage pool capacity: You're charged for the total storage capacity you provision or allocate, even if you haven't assigned it to specific volumes yet. This is measured per GiB per month.

The Flex Zonal service level offers a unique custom provisioning option. This option allows you to independently provision storage capacity, throughput, and IOPS. For custom provisioning, your usage is billed based on these individually provisioned elements. Each storage pool automatically includes the first 1024 IOPS and 64 MBps throughput per month at no extra charge.

For predictable storage needs, NetApp Volumes offers spend-based committed use discounts (CUDs). These discounts significantly reduce costs on your storage pool capacity across all service levels (Flex Zonal, Flex Regional, Standard, Premium, or Extreme). For more details, refer to the Google Cloud NetApp Volumes committed use discounts documentation.

For larger, petabyte-scale storage requirements, contact your Google account representative.

To view detailed pricing, select your desired region from the provided drop-down list.

Flex zonal supports two provisioning modes: regions that allow custom provisioning of capacity and performance, and regions that don't.

Auto-tiering automatically moves data to a cold tier based on your set cooling threshold. Cold tier data is priced lower than hot tier data, regardless of the storage pool's service level. The price per GiB for the cold tier is shown in the table below.

Hot tier capacity is priced the same as non-auto-tiered storage pools based on their service level.

• Flex service level: You explicitly specify the pool's hot-tier size, with a minimum of 1 TiB.
• Premium and Extreme service levels: Unused capacity is treated as hot-tier. If the pool’s hot tier size is less than 2 TiB, 2 TiB will be charged at the hot tier rate, and the remaining capacity at the cold tier rate.

Moving the data to and from the cold tier incurs network transfer costs and data operation costs for reads and writes. The following table shows the price per GiB for network and operations costs.

You're charged for a storage pool in one-second increments, based on the pool's provisioned capacity in GiB.

Here are more details about how the charges are incurred:

• Your project starts incurring charges for a storage pool when you create the first storage pool.
• You are charged based on the provisioned capacity, not the capacity used.
• For example, you create a storage pool with 2 TiB of provisioned capacity and allocate 1 TiB of the provisioned capacity to a volume you store 100 GiB of data in. You incur charges for the 2 TiB of provisioned capacity of the storage pool, not the 100 GiB of stored data capacity used.
• Your project stops incurring charges for a storage pool when you delete the pool, rounded up to the nearest second.

No data transfer charges apply for traffic within the storage pool's region (Standard, Premium, and Extreme service levels) or zone (Flex service level). Other traffic is subject to data transfer charges per Google's Network Pricing.

Volume replication pricing is based on the amount of data replicated between source and destination volumes, and incurs two separate charges depending on the following factors.

• Source and destination regions: pricing is calculated using the VM to VM data transfer pricing within Google Cloud. For detailed pricing, see the Virtual Private Cloud VM to VM data transfer pricing table.
• Replication schedule frequency: schedules with higher rates of frequencies are charged a higher price. The following table displays prices based on frequency:

Volume replication only transfers used data. During the initial transfer, all used data is transferred. Subsequent incremental replication transfers only change 4 KiB data blocks. Before subsequent incremental replication transfers, your data is compressed and deduplicated, which minimizes the transfer amount of data. As a result, costs for volume replication may vary considerably based on the compressibility of the data, change rates, and total bytes stored. Transferred byte amount varies due to storage efficiency savings and protocol overhead.

Backup pricing is based on the following three separate charges:

• Backup usage charges: when a source volume has any backup created there will be a usage charge of $0.032 per GiB per month of volume capacity.
• Backup storage charges: the amount of data being backed up (baseline and incremental). The following table shows the price per GiB.

• Cross-region network charges: the network charges for data transferred between source and destination regions are calculated based on the VM to VM data transfer pricing within Google Cloud.
