Cloud storage solutions are known for their scalability, stability and easy integration. However, many companies choose classical, self-maintained storage because it can be directly controlled, in terms of physical security. With the overall long-term cost in mind, the balance shifts in favor of storage as a service, provided by a cloud infrastructure. In order to meet the security requirements of sensitive data, a gateway that bridges a company's internal storage endpoints with an external resource provider can solve the security issues. This device would be able to interact with existing interfaces and provide a controlled link with remote cloud storage services. The paper proposes such a solution, based on FPGA technology, that will provide seamless access and encryption for data that is stored off-premises. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
