How does this differ from the AWS Storage Gateway appliance? https://aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/ https://aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/

  Good question. I am but a lowly engineer here but my understanding of AWS Storage Gateway is that it relies on your on-premises gateway to ensure the durability of at least a portion of each write's lifetime. If your gateway goes down, it can lose data with it. Our (ClearSky Data's) product takes full responsibility for the durability of data. If the on-premises edge cache (which we manage) fails, no data is lost. Edit: Moreover, we fully manage the edge cache -- with AWS Storage Gateway, it is the customer's responsibility to provision and manage the gateway and its connection to the cloud.

    Thanks. So with ClearSky Data, you write through to the cloud and only acknowledge once it's completed there?

      Correct, with latencies competitive with existing enterprise storage solutions.
