Features
- Integration with Amazon S3 - Scalability and Availability: By using Amazon Storage Gateway in conjunction with Amazon S3, the customer not only facilitates the integration of local storage with the cloud but also benefits from the inherent features of S3, such as scalability and high availability. Amazon S3 is designed to offer 99.999999999% durability, ensuring that data is secure and accessible at any time.
- Cost Management: With this solution, the customer pays only for the storage space used on S3, which can be more cost-effective than investing in additional hardware.
- Backup and Data Recovery with AWS Backup: In addition to the native backup and recovery features of Amazon S3, the customer can use AWS Backup to create, manage, and automate backups of data stored on S3. AWS Backup provides a centralized solution for data backup, simplifying data protection across multiple AWS services. This allows for configuring consistent backup policies and automating the backup process, ensuring that data is secure and can be quickly and efficiently recovered in case of data loss or disasters.
- Data Access and Transfer: The Storage Gateway allows efficient and transparent access and data transfer between the local environment and S3 without changing existing applications.
- Gateway Types: There are different types of gateways (such as File Gateway, Volume Gateway, and Tape Gateway) that can be chosen based on the specific needs of the customer.
- Local Cache: The Storage Gateway maintains a local cache of frequently accessed data, ensuring a quick response to the most immediate storage needs, while less accessed data is stored in S3.
- Security and Compliance: Integration with S3 also means that the customer can leverage AWS security and compliance features, such as encryption and access control.
