Protocol conversion
The NFS and CIFS file protocols, and the iSCSI block protocol are available. These protocols are based on OSS.
Features
Intelligent high-performance caching
Cloud Storage Gateway offers a local cache mode and flexible caching policies. You can smoothly synchronize data to the cloud. Multi-threading and asynchronous operations enable high input/output performance.
Flexible configuration
Cloud Storage Gateway supports both cache mode and write-through mode. You can save data in the local cache to later synchronize to the cloud, or directly write data to the cloud.
Automated storage tiering
In cache mode, your data is automatically stored in a local storage tier or cloud tier based on the data usage frequency.
Cross-platform support
Cloud Storage Gateway supports NFS, CIFS, and iSCSI storage protocols. It also supports various deployment models, including deploy the gateway in ECS instances, Hyper-V, Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM), and VMware virtual machines.
Various deployment methods
Cloud Storage Gateway supports to be deployed on a virtual machine using VMware, VHD, Qcow2, and Raw virtual machine images. It can also be deployed on ECS instances.
Highly compatible with common file storage protocols and block storage protocols
Cloud Storage Gateway supports the NFS, CIFS, and iSCSI storage protocols. It is fully adapted to both Windows and Linux.
High efficiency of data transmission and validation
Cloud Storage Gateway synchronizes data using multi-threading with asynchronous pattern operations, and provides an automatic consistency check.
High efficiency
Cloud Storage Gateway supports data synchronization using multi-threading and asynchronous pattern operations to enable broken-point continuously-transferring.
Consistency
Cloud Storage Gateway automatically ensures data consistency based on the MD5 algorithm.
Robust logging and monitoring system
Cloud Storage Gateway provides full logs and various monitoring metrics to record all activities between the storage gateway and the cloud.
End-to-end monitoring
Cloud Storage Gateway logs all activities between the storage gateway and Object Storage Service (OSS).
Scenarios
Expand local storage to the cloud
Huge, scalable cloud storage
You can obtain the benefits of high scalability and low cost storage by smoothly connecting current storage system to the cloud without needing to change the existing architecture.
Benefits
