The below information details scaling and performance of File Security Storage for Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Performance metrics

Below are some estimates of how long a scan takes for various 10 MB file types. TrendAI™ collected this data by uploading 50 files of each type to a GCP project scanner and measuring the per-file scan duration across three test executions.

Because the scanner processes files concurrently as they arrive, the overall upload-to-scan-complete time for a batch of 50 files is significantly less than the sum of individual scan times. For 10 MB files, upload-to-scan-complete times ranged from 2 to 17 seconds across all tested file types.

Test result summary

All test files used for these results were PDF files. Only the file size (100 KB, 1 MB, 10 MB, or 100 MB) was varied.
  • First quartile (25%) and the third quartile (75%) of scan time data:
    • 100KB PDF files were scanned in the range of 0 ~ 1 seconds.
    • 1MB PDF files were scanned in the range of 0 ~ 1 seconds.
    • 10MB PDF files were scanned in the range of 1 second.
    • 100MB PDF files were scanned in the range of 2 ~ 3 seconds.
  • The average scan time for each test file:
    • 100KB PDF files: 1.44 seconds average scan time.
    • 1MB PDF files: 0.56 seconds average scan time.
    • 10MB PDF files: 1.41 seconds average scan time.
    • 100MB PDF files: 2.67 seconds average scan time.
  • Upload-to-scan-complete time:
    • The upload-to-scan-complete time for 100KB PDF files was 2 ~ 3 seconds.
    • The upload-to-scan-complete time for 1MB PDF files was 2 ~ 3 seconds.
    • The upload-to-scan-complete time for 10MB PDF files was 1 ~ 3 seconds.
    • The upload-to-scan-complete time for 100MB PDF files was 3 seconds.
