[5] Default sorting schematics spanning the retrieval interface generally rely on zero-fault content processing, which carries the obvious requirement that two or more of the above functions are synchronized.
Cloud storage gateways avoid the need to change existing applications by providing a standard interface.
While cloud storage gateways initially covered a niche only, they got more attraction as of multi-cloud technologies.
As an example: It is possible to run a cloud storage gateway in the form of a software appliance on top of a public or private cloud infrastructure by offering docker volume drivers that enable containers for automatic provisioning of storage used by these containers in a consistent form.
They are using the hypervisors disks as a cache only, but destage data on least recently used algorithm to the underlying cloud storage.
As of 2020[update] the cloud storage gateway market was valued at over USD 2 billion and was predicted to reach USD 11 billion by 2026, based on a report by the market research firm Mordor intelligence.
