AWS Storage Gateway Announces Gateway-Virtual Tape Library (Gateway-VTL)
We’re excited to announce the availability of a new gateway configuration, Gateway-Virtual Tape Library (Gateway-VTL). Gateway-VTL is the newest addition to AWS Storage Gateway, a service that integrates your on-premises IT environment with AWS storage. With Gateway-VTL, AWS Storage Gateway now provides you with a cost-effective, scalable, and durable virtual tape infrastructure that allows you to eliminate the challenges associated with owning and operating an on-premises physical tape infrastructure.
With Gateway-VTL you can have a limitless collection of virtual tapes. Each virtual tape can be stored in a Virtual Tape Library backed by Amazon S3 or a Virtual Tape Shelf backed by Amazon Glacier. The Virtual Tape Library exposes an industry standard iSCSI interface which provides your backup application with on-line access to the virtual tapes. When you no longer require immediate or frequent access to data contained on a virtual tape, you can use your backup application to move it from its Virtual Tape Library to your Virtual Tape Shelf in order to further reduce your storage costs.
