Database Gateway connects your on-premises databases and databases hosted on third-party clouds to Alibaba Cloud services, enabling centralized management, data migration, synchronization, and backup.
Centralize management across clouds
Data Management (DMS) is an all-in-one data management service covering data management, schema management, access security, security audit, data trend analysis, and data tracking.
Database Gateway works with DMS to provide stable, low-cost, and centralized management for non-Alibaba Cloud databases, including self-managed databases in on-premises data centers, cloud databases of third-party providers, and self-managed database instances of third-party providers.
Migrate data to Alibaba Cloud
Data Transmission Service (DTS) supports data transmission between relational databases, NoSQL databases, and online analytical processing (OLAP) databases. DTS provides data migration, data synchronization, change tracking, data integration, and data processing.
Database Gateway connects your on-premises databases or databases on third-party clouds to Alibaba Cloud at a low cost. Once connected, use those databases as either the source or destination database of a data migration task, data synchronization task, or change tracking task in DTS.
Synchronize data to Alibaba Cloud databases
Use the DTS data synchronization feature to keep on-premises databases or databases of third-party providers continuously in sync with Alibaba Cloud databases. For details on how synchronization works, see How DTS works in data synchronization mode
Back up databases to Alibaba Cloud
Data Disaster Recovery is a cost-effective, highly reliable one-stop backup and restoration service. It provides:
Data restoration in seconds
Backup set queries through integration with Data Lake Analytics
Enterprise-level backup capabilities in a hybrid cloud environment for databases in data centers, private clouds, and public clouds of one or more cloud providers
Database Gateway lets you back up on-premises databases or databases in private networks of a third-party cloud to Alibaba Cloud at a low cost. After backup, specify those databases as source databases for restoration tasks.
