Storage price reduction for AWS Storage Gateway and support for Symantec Backup Exec with Gateway-Virtual Tape Library (VTL)

Posted on: Apr 29, 2014

In line with recent Amazon S3 price reductions, we have reduced Volume storage and VTL storage prices by 65%, effective April 1, 2014. You can find pricing details on the AWS Storage Gateway pricing page.

We have also introduced support for Symantec Backup Exec with Gateway-VTL. You can now backup and archive directly to Amazon S3 and Amazon Glacier using Gateway-VTL with Symantec Backup Exec. Details for getting started are in the AWS Storage Gateway-VTL user guide.

The updated AWS Storage Gateway virtual machine (VM) image is available for download from the AWS Management Console. For gateways you've already deployed, Symantec Backup Exec support will be delivered through a software update deployed during your gateway's specified weekly maintenance time.
