Support for cached
volumes and
introduction of API
Version 2012-06-30
In this release, AWS Storage Gateway introduces support
for cached volumes. Cached volumes minimize the need
to scale your on-premises storage infrastructure, while
still providing your applications with low-latency access
to their active data. You can create storage volumes up
to 32 TiB in size and mount them as iSCSI devices from
your on-premises application servers. Data written to
your cached volumes is stored in Amazon Simple Storage
Service (Amazon S3), with only a cache of recently
written and recently read data stored locally on your
on-premises storage hardware. Cached volumes allow
you to utilize Amazon S3 for data where higher retrieval
latencies are acceptable, such as for older, infrequently
accessed data, while maintaining storage on-premises for
data where low-latency access is required.
In this release, AWS Storage Gateway also introduces
a new API version that, in addition to supporting the
current operations, provides new operations to support
cached volumes.

solutions, see
