AWS Storage Gateway Hardware Appliance
AWS Storage Gateway connects your on-premises applications to AWS storage services such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS), and Amazon Glacier. It runs in your existing virtualized environment and is visible to your applications and your client operating systems as a file share, a local block volume, or a virtual tape library. The resulting hybrid storage model gives our customers the ability to use their AWS Storage Gateways for backup, archiving, disaster recovery, cloud data processing, storage tiering, and migration.

If you have an Amazon Business account (they’re free) you can use a purchase order for the transaction. In addition to simplifying deployment, using this standardized configuration helps to assure consistent performance for your local applications.
