The AWS Storage Gateway is a service, associating an on-premises programming machine.

What do you like best about the product?
AWS offers Gateway-Cached volumes which enable you to use Amazon S3 for your essential information, while holding some segment of it locally as well. Gateway-Cached volumes and Gateway-Stored volumes give the capacity to make and store point-in-time previews of your stockpiling volumes in Amazon S3. The AWS Storage Gateway safely moves your information to AWS over SSL and stores information scrambled very still in Amazon S3 and Amazon Glacier utilizing Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256, a protected symmetric-key encryption standard utilizing 256-piece encryption keys. There is no compelling reason to re-engineer your on-premises applications. Passage Cached volumes and Gateway-Stored volumes uncover a standard iSCSI square circle gadget interface and Gateway-VTL presents a standard iSCSI virtual tape library interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
For an average user, AWS is considered to be hard to implement. And making things worse, it’s for an average user highly automated and less customizable, which makes it less feasible for a user who is looking for customizations. Furthermore, there are mixed reviews for the quality of support offered by AWS Storage Gateway as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If there was a one liner to identify the value of AWS Storage Gateway, it would be that it can manage cloud storage backup and recovery automatically, absolutely without any hassle at all.

Cloud Storage

What do you like best about the product?
It is like icloud but easier to use in a work setting and more reliable than icloud. Better for business use rather than personal use. If you are a usual amazon user, this platform is enjoyable and easy to use. This platform connects to all other Amazon platforms such as Amazon s3 EBS, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not directly connected to the current platforms we use in the workplace. Sometimes the buffering process takes time to load documents and data, but that is with any type of storage platform or site. meta data stored on s3 cannot be mapped across different protocols.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Out of all the platforms I have used in each job, Amazon S3 has the best plan for data protection, recovery, migration, etc. When data or files are lost, it can be detrimental to all aspects of the company, we do not have to worry about this happening with our data stored in Amazon S3.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommend. We even uploaded images and pulled them from s3 for our Etsy site.

Negotiate pricing or consider the enterprise version

Great product, exponential competition

What do you like best about the product?
The AWS storage gateway has really set itself apart from the competition. They have now capitalized and partnered with Salesforce.com beating Microsoft to rule the market. Can't wait to see AWS scale in the future.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have many cons about AWS. I think with the lower price scale compared to other systems, Amazon has really set itself apart.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We currently use AWS with all of our Salesforce projects.

AWS Storage Gateway is easy to setup though it has very difficult structure.
So I recommend this Image for everyone.
