Hybrid Storage Solutions with AWS Storage Gateway
AWS Storage Gateway is a hybrid storage service that enables businesses to connect on-premises applications with cloud storage.

It helps businesses bridge the gap between on-premises and cloud storage by providing a secure and scalable data storage and backup solution.
