AWS Storage Gateway features
Introducing AWS Storage Gateway
AWS Storage Gateway is a hybrid cloud storage service that gives you on-premises access to virtually unlimited cloud storage. You can use Storage Gateway to simplify storage management and reduce costs for key hybrid cloud storage use cases. These include moving backups to the cloud, using on-premises file shares backed by cloud storage, and providing low-latency access to data in AWS for on-premises applications.
To support these use cases, the service provides four different types of gateways – Tape Gateway, Amazon S3 File Gateway, Amazon FSx File Gateway, and Volume Gateway – that seamlessly connect on-premises applications to cloud storage, caching data locally for low-latency access.

Storage Gateway Deployment Options
As a hybrid cloud service, AWS Storage Gateway is fully managed and consists of both cloud and on-premises components, which can be deployed in several methods based on your on-premises infrastructure needs: as a virtual machine, which can run on VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Linux KVM on premises; as a hardware appliance on-premises; as a VM in VMware Cloud on AWS; or as an AMI in Amazon EC2.
Storage Gateway provides public, Amazon VPC, and FIPS service endpoints, providing you options to deploy and connect your gateway to Storage Gateway in a framework that best suits your networking and security needs. You can connect a gateway to the service either using public internet or through AWS Direct Connect.
