StoneFly Smart Cloud Gateway improves efficiency, scalability for IT systems; allows transfer of data to the cloud of choice

StoneFly Smart Cloud Gateway delivers enhanced performance and scalability that gives enterprises the power to configure storage, backup, disaster recovery and archival options in the cloud of their choice by integrating StoneFly Smart Cloud Gateway with their existing infrastructure. 

The Smart cloud gateway is purpose-built to support enterprise-scale workloads without compromising performance and data availability. StoneFly Smart cloud gateway makes data transfers simple, hassle-free and easy for IT administrators.


Being an eighth generation product, StoneFly Smart Cloud gateway has been developed in accordance with user feedback. The appliance classifies data into tiers according to user-defined policies. Users can choose to move data from on-premises to cloud storage tiers like Azure Cool blob, AWS S3-IA or Azure Archival Blob. This automated process reduces cost of data retention and simplifies data management for IT administrators.

StoneFly smart cloud gateway appliance is a purpose-built plug and play infrastructure. The gateway appliance can effortlessly move hotdata to high performance storage tiers, cold data to lower-cost, high capacity drives and older data to archival data tiers for exceptional application performance and reduced TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) of storage.

Headquartered in the Silicon Valley (Hayward) California, StoneFly was founded to deliver upon the vision of simple and affordable enterprise-class products. Purpose-built, optimized, fully security hardened and tested enterprise-class products, StoneFly provides physical, virtual, cloud, software as a service (SaaS), consulting, enterprise managed services, cloud migration services, public/private cloud infrastructure, backup, disaster recovery (DR), cloud file/sync collaboration and office in the cloud.


With constant threats like ransomware, power outages and hardware failure targeting business data, it’s important that businesses have reliable data protection strategies setup. With StoneFly cloud storage gateway, businesses can setup the 3-2-1 rule of data protection, creating copies of their backup data in the cloud. This creates an additional layer of recoverability and enables IT administrators to initiate data recovery from anywhere, anytime.

Last December, StoneFly Smart Cloud Gateway added backup and archiving to its capabilities, thus enabling the service that connects on-premise appliance with cloud-based storage. Users can adopt the Smart Cloud Gateway to store data in Microsoft Azure Cloud, Amazon AWS, any S3 compatible cloud or any other public or private cloud for scalable and cost-effective storage.

Using standard backup software and the Smart Cloud Gateway, consumers can write backups to the cloud and store data durably. This enables both long-term data retention for compliance and recovery into the cloud, locally or other site on-premises.

With the Smart Cloud Gateway, clients can expand on-premise storage into the cloud without having to physically buy additional disks to expand on-premise storage. It works with existing applications whether it is a backup application, a line of business application or file server. The Smart Gateway works with all those types of scenarios and provides a low latency access to users/customers.


StoneFly cloud storage gateway protects important business data using SSL/TLS tunneling and AES 256-bit encryption. This prevents malicious software from gaining access to the data in transit. Businesses can choose to encrypt data before transit as well and then decrypt using secure decryption key on the receiving end. It also leverages snapshot technology to create snapshot images that deliver data protection from ransomware and data loss, while going back in time and quickly recovering in the event of a ransomware attack, accidental and malicious deletion or similar disaster.

StoneFly cloud storage gateway can transfer from terabytes (TBs) to petabytes (PBs) of data. With StoneFly’s technology, the cloud gateway facilitates data transfers for enterprise-scale workloads without affecting the outbound network. With a simple to use interface, users can easily setup data transfers from on-premises to cloud or cloud to cloud. The cloud storage gateway does not require complex setup and deployment procedures. It’s easy to setup and can be deployed within minutes.
