Western Digital OpenFlex Data24 Performance Testing

Harshavardhana Harshavardhana on Benchmarks 11 April 2022

We recently benchmarked MinIO S3 performance on the Western Digital OpenFlex Data24 using the WARP benchmark tool. Western Digital’s OpenFlex Data24 NVMe-oF Storage Platform extends the high performance of NVMe flash to shared storage. It provides low-latency sharing of NVMe SSDs over a high-performance Ethernet fabric to deliver similar performance to locally attached NVMe SSDs. Industry-leading connectivity, using Western

Deprecation of the MinIO gateway

Harshavardhana Harshavardhana on S3 24 February 2022

MinIO is deprecating the gateway and will be completely removed in six months. This should not come as a surprise, we began informing the community in 2020 and have steadily removed unpopular gateways. In the last ten months, MinIO has only made bug fixes. The community can continue to use older versions of MinIO past that date. We also encourage

Updated NVMe Benchmark: 2.6Tbps+ for READS

It also is why we develop tools that allow a clean, clear measurement of performance and can be easily replicated. We want people to test for themselves. Further, we do

Using mc to Migrate Data to/from AWS Snowball

As data has grown, so has the challenge associated with moving it. Indeed, the bandwidth costs to migrate a PB of data out of AWS would be more than keeping it there for years. Still, customers often need to move large amounts (100s of TBs up to PBs) with some frequency. Amazon knows this and has, in their intensely customer

Relaxing the 32-Node Restriction on MinIO

Harshavardhana Harshavardhana on Modern Data Lakes 6 January 2020

MinIO previously imposed a much-discussed 32-node per cluster limit, which we lifted in December. There was no hard technical reason for the 32-node limit — you can use MinIO to create 1,000 node clusters. That reason we imposed the limit was to drive good architectural decisions. We learned, however, that some saw this as a limitation (indeed some competitors suggested
