The cloud gateway connects scalable, secure, available, and affordable public/private cloud storage to file (NFS and CIFS/SMB) and block (iSCSI) storage servers or appliances.

With the intent to facilitate remote branches and employees working from home, the cloud gateway maps cloud storage drives and scales local storage to virtually unlimited and affordable storage in the cloud. The integrated cloud storage is a fit for images, videos, research data, medical storage, PACS archiving, MySQL and oracle database storage, CRM and EHR software storage, and more.
