cloud storage gateway
|
| A cloud
storage gateway is a hardware- or software-based appliance located
on the customer premises that serves as a bridge between local applications
and remote cloud-based storage. A cloud storage gateway appliance provides basic protocol translation and simple connectivity to allow the incompatible technologies to communicate transparently. The gateway may be a stand-alone computing device or a virtual machine (VM) image.
As the market has evolved, some vendors
have dropped the word "gateway" in favor of the word
"controller" to emphasize the idea that their gateway products do
more than just serve as a bridge.
Many of today's cloud storage gateway
products provide data deduplication and compression capabilities to make use
of available bandwidth efficiently and move data as quickly as possible.
Reducing the data footprint also lowers cost, because cloud providers charge
for over-the-wire transfers as well as for storage space. Other popular
features include snapshots and version control, the ability to use local
storage as a cache, automated tiered storage and encryption.
