AWS Storage Gateway

▲ ▼

description AWS Storage Gateway Overview

This solution bridges the gap between on-premises data centers and AWS cloud storage. It presents cloud storage to local applications as if it were local disk space, caching frequently accessed data locally while asynchronously backing up the rest to S3. This is perfect for organizations needing to gradually move data to the cloud without disrupting local application performance or requiring immediate, massive bandwidth upgrades.

help AWS Storage Gateway FAQ

What does AWS Storage Gateway do?

AWS Storage Gateway connects on-premises applications with storage in AWS. It can present cloud-backed storage through familiar interfaces while caching frequently used data locally.

Which AWS storage services can Storage Gateway use?

Storage Gateway includes modes that work with Amazon S3 and related AWS storage workflows, including file, volume, and tape-style interfaces. The right mode depends on whether the application expects files, block storage, or virtual tape.

Can Veeam use AWS Storage Gateway for backups?

Veeam can integrate with AWS storage in several ways, and Storage Gateway may be used when an on-premises workflow needs a local-facing interface. The exact design depends on the Veeam version, gateway type, repository setup, and desired recovery process.

Does AWS Storage Gateway keep a local copy of all cloud data?

No. It uses local cache space for frequently accessed data and stores the durable copy in AWS according to the selected gateway mode. Cache sizing and network bandwidth therefore affect performance and recovery behavior.
