Choosing a Gateway Type
For a tape gateway (p. 6), you store and archive your data on virtual tapes in AWS. A tape gateway
eliminates some of the challenges associated with owning and operating an on-premises physical tape
infrastructure.
To create a tape gateway
1. Open the AWS Management Console at http://console.www.amazonaws.cn/storagegateway/home,
and choose the AWS Region that you want to create your gateway in.
If you have previously created a gateway in this AWS Region, the console shows your gateway.
Otherwise, the console home page appears.
