Connecting your on-premises storage to AWS with Amazon Storage Gateway
Amazon Storage Gateway is an on-premises solution that enables you to connect your on-premises servers and storage systems to the Amazon S3 cloud environment. The service involves installing the Storage Gateway virtual machines (VMs) on-premises and connecting your servers to them. The gateway uses industry-standard protocols to then transfer data between your servers and the Amazon S3 platform. The VM can be deployed on either VMware ESXi or a Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Optionally, you can also order a hardware appliance, which is a physical server that comes pre-installed and configured with the Storage Gateway software. This reduces the administration time involved in setting up your own VMs and integrates with your existing storage systems over protocols such as Network File System (NFS), SMB, and Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI).
