When to use aws direct connect and aws storage gateway

Question

When to use aws direct connect and aws storage gateway. My question is these services seems to be similer, so what are use cases to use these two services.

Answer 1

AWS Direct Connect is a network connection between AWS and on on-premises network. The physical connection is an optical fiber link organised through a Telco, while Direct Connect provisions the physical port where the fiber connects in an AWS transit center.

AWS Storage Gateway is a storage service that provisions a virtual tape drive, virtual S3 drive or virtual disk that is stored in AWS. It typically runs across a Direct Connect connection.
