AWS Storage Gateway

Backing up data has become quite easy with AWS Storage Gateway. But in the case of notifications, it needs to improve.

SG is well suited for complete cloud overhauls and moving backups. Due to the low latency access, your data is always at your fingertips.

It is well suited for our backups. We store backups in 2 places EBS volumes in VPC and s3 buckets. From our on-prem servers, we connect to both and backup job runs smooth. It is less appropriate if you are already hosting in the AWS Cloud. There are direct ways to access storage areas without the need for gateway.

If we want to access Amazon services like S3 in a more secure way, we can implement AWS Storage Gateway. We have implemented AWS Storage Gateway for accessing all our S3 bucket objects.

Even though in the web3 space, we should not fully trust any servers or storage due to security but Amazon provides a great level of security and data privacy which is harder to implement on our own. I like the fact that the process of setting it up is fast compared to the others.

AWS Storage Gateway performed better than other Data Center Backup solutions we've used in the past because it's cloud based. The initial documentation AWS Storage Gateway provides is very very user friendly, allowing us to set up the AWS Storage Gateway the right way from the start. It did take a few hours to set up but it helps us store sensitive files pretty easily.

It is very well suited for storing secure content in AWS Storage Gateway for the on-prem environments to access. It works very well in a hybrid environment. Not supported connection to multiple buckets.

The AWS Storage Gateway is well suited if you want a quick way to off load your backups to the cloud to eliminate the need of a offsite storage location for physical tapes. The ROI is quite good from that perspective since you can utilize Glacier storage for the virtual tapes. The AWS Storage Gateway is not well suited if data sets being backed up is very large. The lack of de-duplication will add time to your backup. It will also increase the egress charges.

Whether you need a solution for storing business files or a backup strategy for your company data, AWS Storage Gateway offers all these and more. Having used it for over 5 years, I can recommend it without doubt. It's very secure and is scalable too.

The services we have received from this product have been always very effective and have highly contributed to improved performance. Volume Gateway gives us the most reliable storage services that can sustain big workloads. Data transfer to our cloud servers is faster as compared to other platforms. The system is well managed and the customer support team can easily be reached when there is a challenge that we cannot handle.

For therapists and clinicians, like myself, who work online and consult via an online platform such as Zoom AWS S3 gives added security and peace of mind. It is easy to store confidential files and AWS gives the level of security demanded by auditors and law. Not having files stored locally on systems is important for the above reasons - as is enabling others to be sent selected files for their review or reminder of session content. Everything to do with my business and customer interactions can be stored in one place and is easy to access for me but not easy for others.

If you have a relatively large infrastructure in place and are consistently backing up servers for legal or compliance reasons, this is a good solution. Also, this fits where you may store logs for review in a point-in-time type of ecological view of your infrastructure. Finally, if you have a large reporting delivery (ETL), this is very handy as well as a quick shortcut for delivery of locally generated reports from the servers.

AWS Storage Gateway suits for connecting on-premises infrastructure with storage services in AWS, in provides standard storage protocols so it's very easy to set up and use. It can be used also as a backup facility for local data with S3 or Glacier as storage backend services. AWS Storage Gateway is also secure as it encrypts data in transit.
