It was used in hybrid environments. This was not necessarily specific to a vertical, but rather depended on how recent the data center was.

AWS Storage Gateway can be used to store your data. Instead of sending the data to the internal file shares or UNC path, we can use the AWS S3 bucket, which is pretty good and fast. We can rely on AWS, and our data will not be compromised. When the data is at rest, it cannot be stolen or manipulated because it is encrypted. AWS Storage Gateway is used when connecting from the internal on-premises servers or the internal on-premises UNC path to AWS. We need to use AWS Storage Gateway whenever data goes from on-premises to AWS or from AWS to on-premises.

The primary use case is simple. When you need especially high performance, and require the cache or a local copy of your data, you can't afford the round trip to the cloud and back each time you want to read something. So you keep your information stored locally, cached locally, and then the major repository is in the cloud.
