Overview

Product Information on AWS Storage Gateway

Updated 13th October 2025

What is AWS Storage Gateway?

AWS Storage Gateway is a hybrid cloud storage software that enables on-premises applications to seamlessly use cloud storage by providing integration between on-premises environments and cloud-based storage. The software supports three types of gateways: File Gateway, Tape Gateway, and Volume Gateway, each offering specific capabilities such as file storage for object access in the cloud, tape backup replacement with virtual tapes, and cloud-backed storage volumes with local caching. AWS Storage Gateway addresses the business need for secure backup, disaster recovery, and data archiving while enabling organizations to bridge existing infrastructure with scalable cloud storage resources. It supports features such as automated data transfer, encryption, and native integration with cloud storage management tools.

AWS Storage Gateway Pricing

AWS Storage Gateway software uses a pay-as-you-go pricing model based on the type and amount of storage provisioned and data transferred. Charges apply for gateway usage per hour, storage consumed in gigabytes per month, and requests or data written to AWS, with no upfront fees or required commitments.
