    Amazon AWS
    The AWS Storage Gateway is well suited if you want a quick way to off load your backups to the cloud to eliminate the need of a offsite storage location for physical tapes. The ROI is quite good from that perspective since you can utilize Glacier storage for the virtual tapes. The AWS Storage Gateway is not well suited if data sets being backed up is very large. The lack of de-duplication will add time to your backup. It will also increase the egress charges

    AWS Storage Gateway performance is ever excellent since we deployed it in our company. Downloading this platform and installing the setup is easy as compared to other similar products. Virtual data that we get from our cloud servers [are] good in the enhancement of better planning and safety [compliance]. I have been able to integrate the data from our server to our systems to streamline workflow and boost performance.

    Return on Investment
    Amazon AWS
    • It has positively affected us for ETL on reports to customers that neither party wants to pay too much for.
    • It has also positively affected us where our backup systems where old and had large maintenance costs.
    • It has some new, net negative impact with slowed down delivery or random slowing incidents.
