The Storage Gateway Service is NOT a backup service alternative.
The Storage Gateway Service is a network file service that delivers a network file share to the subscribing department or lab. This file service is backed by AWS S3 storge in the SEC Core Platform. Files stored in Gateway File Share have access controlled by Active Directory. There is no direct access to the underlying S3 objects stored in this solution. All file access must be accessed via the Storage Gateway Service.
