Building hybrid storage with AWS Storage Gateway
While working on cloud migration, some applications will not be so simple to move to the cloud. Those apps might need to stay on-premises for performance reasons or compliance reasons, or they may be too complex to move into the cloud quickly. Some apps may need to remain on-premises indefinitely such as mainframe applications or legacy applications that need to meet licensing requirements.
