It is well suited for our backups. We store backups in 2 places EBS volumes in VPC and s3 buckets. From our on-prem servers, we connect to both and backup job runs smooth. It is less appropriate if you are already hosting in the AWS Cloud. There are direct ways to access storage areas without the need for gateway.
Excellent Cloud platform that has the powerful and very stable functionalities for the easy moving of many data across the entire Cloud services and thro9ugh a very secure platform. Integration to multiple other platform on Cloud services is amazing and even the data visualization tools are the best and collection of multiple data insights across websites is amazing.
The AWS Storage Gateway can be deployed very quickly. We required only a couple of hours to get it setup and was able to present it to the backup server as a media manager and VTL drives.
The provisioning of the virtual tapes was also pretty easy to setup. Being able to utilize Glazier storage provided a great ROI.
The documentation AWS provides is very user friendly, allowing us to set up the AWS Storage Gateway the correct way.
AWS Storage Gateway is a good product and for certain use cases works really well, however i would like to see it support additional protocols in the future.
AWS Storage Gateway is better than Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery because it was entirely cloud based. Unlike Unitrends that requires a physical appliance that then would be connected to a AWS bucket. The AWS Storage Gateway was able to utilize Glacier storage, while Unitrends could only use either S3 or S3-IA decreasing the ROI with the more expensive storage class. Furthermore the licensing model for the Unitrends is greater that with the AWS Storage Gateway.
The software features are easily manipulated and amazing technical help offered and even the functions flexibility ie fantastic. The storage capacity available is incredible and the platform allows effective accessibility of any data from the system through a very secure environment that the tool provides. Storage utilization using the software is perfect and easy configuration.
Accessibility of data in Cloud: Previously it was difficult to access our stored data.
Cheaper storage as opposed to physical: At this point have saved enough money (when compared to physical storage)
One con is the scope of services included with some features. You aye only need 10% of what's there's but paying for the other 90% you don't use cam be costly.
