When you think about object storage workloads and storage types - databases are increasingly a core workload. The changes are driven by two forces: the availability of high performance object storage and the explosive growth of data and specifically its associated metadata. Because of these two forces, almost every major database vendor now includes S3 compatible endpoints. Further, for many

The regulatory landscape is evolving rapidly, and the upcoming Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) in Europe is a testament to this dynamic change. We have multiple European banking customers and each one is approaching the problem from a slightly different angle with one exception - almost all of them are using modern object storage as the foundational layer. For IT

While we suspect many technologists have given this a fair amount of thought, we also know from first-hand discussions with customers and community members that this is still an area of significant inquiry. We wanted to summarize that thinking

With today’s announcement of Starburst’s support for MinIO, it made sense to revisit the architectural trends that are becoming the standard for analytics workloads. Starburst provides a perfect example as we shall see shortly. The architecture follows the model of disaggregating storage and compute. Modern, high speed networks have obsoleted the old approaches espoused by the many defunct
