Tape Gateway supports all leading backup applications and enables you to replace physical tapes on premises with virtual tapes in AWS without changing backup workflows. Tape Gateway caches data on premises for low latency access, compresses and encrypts data in transit to AWS, and transitions virtual tapes to Amazon S3 Glacier or Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive to help you minimize storage costs.
This capability is available starting today in all AWS Regions. Visit the Storage Gateway User guide to learn more, or log into the Storage Gateway console to get started.
