Clumio for Google Cloud Storage is a cloud-native backup and recovery solution that helps deliver immutable, air-gapped protection for Google Cloud Storage objects, prefixes, and buckets at petabyte scale. It helps enable rapid, granular recovery following ransomware, accidental deletion, lifecycle policy errors, or data corruption – without requiring organizations to manage backup infrastructure.

Organizations increasingly rely on Google Cloud Storage as the foundation for analytics platforms, AI initiatives, application data, archives, and cloud-native services.

While Google Cloud provides highly durable storage, durability alone does not address ransomware, accidental deletion, lifecycle policy mistakes, malicious activity, or logical corruption. When cloud object storage becomes a system of record, recovery capabilities become just as important as storage availability.

Clumio for Google Cloud Storage is now available, helping extend cloud-native cyber resilience and recovery capabilities to one of the industry's leading cloud object storage platforms. The solution delivers immutable, air-gapped backups and rapid recovery workflows that help organizations recover data following cyberattacks, operational mistakes, outages, or corruption events.

As organizations continue investing in AI, analytics, and multi-cloud strategies, the ability to recover large-scale datasets becomes a critical business requirement. Clumio for Google Cloud Storage is designed to help organizations support business continuity, reduce operational overhead, and recover with greater confidence at cloud scale.

Why Google Cloud Storage Requires Dedicated Backup and Recovery

Google Cloud Storage has become the data foundation for modern enterprises. Organizations use it to store training data for AI models, support analytics pipelines, archive business records, and power cloud-native applications.

As data volumes grow, the potential impact of a disruption grows as well. A single lifecycle policy error, accidental deletion, ransomware attack, or application bug can affect millions of objects simultaneously. Native storage durability helps safeguard against infrastructure failures, but it does not address logical corruption, malicious activity, or human error.

The challenge becomes even greater for organizations managing petabytes of data. Recovery efforts often require manual coordination, custom scripts, and time-consuming processes that delay restoration of business-critical services.

Recent research shows that 84% of cloud leaders intentionally use multiple cloud environments. This helps support AI initiatives, balance risk, and manage large datasets. As multi-cloud adoption expands, organizations need consistent resilience and recovery capabilities across environments.

How Clumio Delivers Cloud-Native Resilience

Clumio for Google Cloud Storage was designed to address these challenges through a cloud-native, SaaS-based approach to protection and recovery. The platform stores backup copies in an immutable, air-gapped environment separate from production data.

This isolation helps reduce the risk that backup data is affected if primary storage is compromised by ransomware or destructive deletion events. It helps organizations recover at multiple levels of granularity, including individual objects, prefixes, and entire buckets. This flexibility enables teams to recover only the data they need, helping reduce recovery times and operational disruption.

The solution also helps eliminate the need to deploy, patch, scale, or maintain backup infrastructure. Centralized policy management and automated protection workflows help simplify operations while allowing protection strategies to scale alongside growing cloud data environments.

Business Outcomes for AI, Analytics, and Cloud Operations

For many organizations, downtime is no longer limited to application outages. Disrupted data can halt analytics projects, interrupt AI pipelines, delay customer-facing services, and impact business decision-making. Clumio helps organizations reduce these risks by supporting faster recovery workflows and strengthening cyber resilience. Key business outcomes include:

• Faster recovery – Rapid point-in-time recovery helps organizations recover data from selected recovery points following ransomware attacks, accidental deletion, corruption events, or lifecycle policy mistakes.
• Reduced operational overhead – A fully managed SaaS platform that helps remove infrastructure management requirements and reduce reliance on manual recovery processes.
• Improved cyber resilience – Immutable, air-gapped backups are designed to add an additional layer of resilience against modern cyber threats.
• Greater confidence in AI and analytics – Organizations can help protect the datasets that enable AI models, business intelligence platforms, and analytics environments.

"With Clumio for Google Cloud, we will be able to restore massive volumes of cloud data with a cloud-native SaaS solution that is easy to use and highly scalable." – Alex Grach, Head of Engineering, Trusted Data Platform at Atlassian

Bringing Consistent Recovery Across Multi-Cloud Environments

Many enterprises now operate across multiple cloud environments, including AWS and Google Cloud. While cloud adoption creates flexibility, it also can introduce complexity when backup and recovery processes differ between environments.

Clumio helps address this challenge by providing a consistent cloud-native protection experience across cloud platforms. Organizations can apply unified policies, help streamline recovery workflows, and help reduce operational friction as cloud environments grow.

As businesses continue investing in AI-enabled innovation, cloud resilience must evolve alongside the workloads it protects. With the general availability of Clumio for Google Cloud Storage, organizations gain a purpose-built solution for helping protect and recover cloud object storage data at scale while maintaining the operational simplicity that modern enterprises require.
