AWS Storage Gateway

Scaling without impacting customers

Connecting on-premises to cloud under that hood is easier

Accessibility of data in Cloud: Previously it was difficult to access our stored data.

Cheaper storage as opposed to physical: At this point have saved enough money (when compared to physical storage)

One con is the scope of services included with some features. You aye only need 10% of what's there's but paying for the other 90% you don't use cam be costly.

Positive impact: Keeps data backups in a safe place

Buckets are protected by IAM roles and permissions. So no unnecessary access to outsiders.

AWS Storage Gateway provides a layer of security over other security features, which always helps the company to make data more proficient.

Easier integration with automation tools like tools saves a lot of time for developers, which has a direct impact on business operational costs.

AWS Services are cost-effective, and cost management tools are great for managing costs and working on cost reduction.

Prices are high.

Improvements could be made.

The accessibility of directories is pretty slow and little time-consuming, and less efficient.

Lag time.

Time to initially set up all the configurations.

Storage gateway really helps with the migration of our image store with a large volume of data from on-premise servers to S3.

A positive ROI that AWS Storage Gateway had is we were able to eliminate using a offsite tape management company.

Another ROI is that it has allowed for quicker file restore capability. We can recall a tape much quicker from AWS, compared to having contact the offisite tape management company and in most cases wait a day or two for the tape to arrive.

Furthermore, the capability of using Glacier storage for the AWS Storage Gateway is another ROI, reducing the cost of storing our backups.

Finally being able to use more features of AWS is another ROI, because it allowed us to better utilize our cloud investment.
