A cloud storage gateway is a network appliance or server which resides at the customer premises and translates cloud storage APIs such as SOAP or REST to block-based storage protocols such as iSCSI or Fibre Channel or file-based interfaces such as NFS or CIFS. [1]
Unlike the cloud storage services which they complement, cloud storage gateways use standard network protocols which provide a seamless integration with existing applications. Cloud storage gateways can also serve as intermediaries to multiple cloud storage providers. Some cloud storage gateways also include additional storage features such as backup and recovery, encryption, deduplication and provisioning.[1]
Major companies and product lines in the cloud gateway market include Gladinet, CTERA Networks Cloud Attached Storage[2], Nasuni Cloud Storage Gateway[3] and TwinStrata. Emerging vendors in the cloud gateway market include StorSimple, Cirtas, and Panzura [1]
