Cloud storage gateway (CSG) can be described as a service used to cater to connectivity between any information technology (IT) environment and cloud storage infrastructure. CSG aims to provide secure and seamless assimilation between provider and customer and facilitate storage, encryption and replication of data. An efficient CSG works effectively in line with protocols of industry standard that operate well with the existing applications. CSG services find increased demand as they are cost effective, available for use on-demand, no application program interface (API) required, customers are free to choose provider as per choice/ need, and high availability of data among others. As problems pertaining to the incompatibility between conventional storage and public cloud based systems become evident, it is important to therefore find ways to incorporate CSG across industries for seamless operation of processes. CSG offers data duplication and compression capabilities to cater to the enhanced use of available bandwidth for fast transfer of data that help in taking decisions in time.
