The record

Purpose: Cloud Storage Gateway connects on-premises or cloud applications to OSS buckets through standard file and block storage protocols without requiring application changes.
Gateway types: It provides file gateways using NFS or SMB and iSCSI gateways for block access.
Caching: File gateways cache frequently accessed data locally to provide high-performance access while using OSS for storage capacity.
Deployment: Gateways can be deployed in a data center or on Alibaba Cloud, and cloud gateways can run on ECS instances.
Virtualization: The product page lists VMware, Hyper-V, KVM, VHD, Qcow2, and Raw virtual machine deployment options.
Integrations: Related services include Object Storage Service, Elastic Compute Service, CloudMonitor, and File Storage NAS.
Backup compatibility: File gateways are compatible with POSIX and third-party backup software.
Security: CSG encrypts data transferred from gateways to OSS, and OSS server-side encryption can be configured with a customer-managed key.
Access control: CSG integrates with Resource Access Management so administrators can grant users specific resource permissions without sharing AccessKey pairs.
