Streaming data is a core component of the modern object storage stack. Whether the source of that data is an edge device or an application running in the datacenter, streaming data is quickly outpacing traditional batch processing frameworks. Streaming data includes everything from log files (think Splunk SmartStore), web or mobile applications, autonomous vehicles, social networks and, of course financial

We are at an interesting time from a technology standpoint. The cloud, and by this we mean a way of doing things - not a physical location, has created a yawning gap between cloud-native companies and legacy vendors (many of whom are giants). Only a few of these giants will make it to the other side. There are multiple reasons,

This post first appeared in the Container Journal [https://containerjournal.com/features/what-it-means-to-be-truly-software-defined/] . The term “software-defined storage” is widely misunderstood by the vendor community. While analysts, both industry and financial, know that software-defined is both the present and future of the storage industry, customers who are unable to make the distinction may find themselves with a hardware- or appliance-based solution

When we talk about the ways MinIO is changing how enterprises view object storage, we are never far from the topic of Kubernetes. It is one of the most impactful pieces of the cloud ecosystem today, so when discussing MinIO’s critical capabilities at Cloud Field Day back in June, it made sense for us to zero in a chunk

What Amazon Web Services has done is truly remarkable. Over the better part of fifteen years they have built a business with an annual run rate in excess of $45B. Underpinning that remarkable growth is storage – specifically S3, launched back in 2006. S3 revolutionized the storage industry and the S3 API is now the standard in the cloud, replacing the

The line between hybrid cloud and multicloud is blurry at this point. The hybrid cloud is certainly more expansive in its definition (public, on-prem, edge). The multi-cloud generally refers to multiple public cloud. What makes it blurry is that the cloud is a mentality - not a physical location. As a result, we see the terms used interchangeably these days.

When you think about the cloud, it helps to think about the types of businesses that have been built with elastic compute, networking and storage as a foundational component and self-service/multi-tenancy as the vehicle for customer engagement. For the most part, those businesses succeeded at scaling by focusing their efforts on building their product, almost exclusively on a single

Lots of object storage companies like to talk about scalability while tossing around terms like exabytes and “infinite.” Unfortunately, many of the terms used to describe scalability make grandiose and misleading promises that don’t help enterprises build an effective storage platform. Claims made around the simplest use case, static archival data, aren’t translatable to the entirety of use
