Cloud Gateway
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. Cloud storage gateways enable companies to integrate cloud storage into applications without moving the applications into the cloud. In addition they simplify data protection.

Famous quotes containing the words cloud and/or gateway:
“The cloud was so dark that it needed all the bright lights that could be turned upon it. But for four years there was a contagion of nobility in the land, and the best blood North and South poured itself out a libation to propitiate the deities of Truth and Justice. The great sin of slavery was washed out, but at what a cost!”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
“Antithesis is the narrow gateway through which error most prefers to worm its way towards truth.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
