In 1994, EMC’s Symmetrix set an industry high-water mark with its max capacity of 1TB (TeraByte) for an enterprise storage system. In 2016, NetApp introduced the FAS9000 which in a 24-node cluster config holds about 172PB (PetaByte) raw. Increasing by 172,000x after 22 years — while dramatically improving performance and adding dozens of wonderful features — is decidedly impressive. But
Read moreZFS is best known for abstracting away the physical storage device boundaries by pooling them together. ZFS completely removed the need to manually handle physical storage or worry about their individual capacities. ZFS is also a pioneer in its ability to detect data corruption and recover if data redundancy is available. However, as we already discussed [https://blog.minio.io/

One of the major requirements for success with IoT strategy is the ability to store and analyze device and sensor data. As IoT brings thousands of devices online everyday, the data being generated by all these devices combined is reaching staggering levels. > Storing the IoT data in a scalable yet cost effective manner, while being able to analyze it

B2 is competitively priced and has a huge fan following. We also heard from Backblaze team that they are actively expanding their B2 cloud storage service. We added experimental support for Backblaze B2 backend in MinIO to

There are standardized protocols like SSH and TLS as well as projects like Let’s Encrypt to protect data sent over the network. TLS for example takes a data stream, chunks the stream into messages and encrypts every message before sending it through the network. TLS ensures that each message is encrypted

Thus far at MinIO [https://github.com/minio/minio] we have not been using this feature much, but that’ll change since there are some nice hidden benefits as we will explain in this blog post. If you are like us, you may have considerable amounts of code

This is a cool hack built by Alex Ellis with the Raspberry Pi, Docker and MinIO. > After contributing code to the Open-Source MinIO project to enable webhooks Alex wanted visualize the traffic passing through his server. His hack shows the rate that objects get
Read moreContainers running on orchestration platforms like Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, DC/OS et al. offer powerful, versatile ways to deploy applications. Containers let you deploy isolated application instances, and you can launch multiple such instances to scale up your load serving capacity. You don’t even need to worry about individual server capacities and scheduling thanks to orchestration tool, which provide

We used block based filesystem for underlying storage. However, as we grew, the filesystem was proving difficult to scale. So, we were looking to move from block based storage to an object store system,

You may not have faced it yourself, but think of people close to you — friends, family, colleagues—and you’ll find several instances of people losing critical personal or business data. To avoid such loss,
