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.
