We are living in a transformative era defined by information and AI. Massive amounts of data are generated and collected every day to feed these voracious, state-of-the-art, AI/ML algorithms. The more data, the better the outcomes. One of the frameworks that has emerged as the lead industry standards is Google's TensorFlow. Highly versatile, one can get started quickly and

Overview MinIO and Splunk have a symbiotic relationship when it comes to enterprise data. Splunk uses MinIO in its Digital Stream Processor. MinIO is a Splunk SmartStore endpoint. In this post we explain how to use Splunk's advanced log analytics to help understand the performance of the MinIO object storage suite and the data under management. A quick level-set for

KES is a stateless and distributed key-management system for high-performance applications. We built KES as the bridge between modern applications - running as containers on Kubernetes - and centralized KMS solutions. Therefore, KES has been designed to be simple, scalable and secure by default.

With the announcement that MinIO was Veeam Ready for Object last week we felt it would be helpful to circle back and talk about an additional use case. In our first post we covered backups of VMware ESX. An equally popular use case is Veeam Backup for Office (VBO). The Office backup market is massive. Even with the advent of

As such any performance improvements that can be made to the MD5 hashing speed are worth considering. Due to recent improvements in SIMD processing (AVX2 and especially AVX512) we are providing a Go md5-simd package

Almost all of the modern cloud-native applications use HTTPs as their primary transport mechanism even within the network. Every service is a collection of HTTPs endpoints provisioned dynamically at scale. Traditional load balancers that are built for serving web applications across the Internet are at a disadvantage here since they use old school DNS round-robin techniques for load balancing and

Edge computing is a hot topic and carries with it some confusion, particularly around storage. Handling data properly at the edge can ensure a scalable, cost-effective and secure infrastructure - but failing to set up the right architecture can lead to data loss, security vulnerabilities and sky-high costs related to the bandwidth needed to transfer data repeatedly to and from

There are two forces that are fundamentally remaking the technology landscape today. One is Kubernetes and the other is high performance Object Storage. They are powering (or are shaped by, depending on your perspective) modern, data-rich applications that include AI/ML and application logs. Either way, modern applications need Kubernetes and Object Storage and Kubernetes and Object Storage owe their

IntroductionJSON has established itself as the "lingua franca" of the web. As such the parsing performance of JSON is hugely important for many applications. Despite the simple and human-friendly nature of JSON, it is not a technically trivial format to parse at high speeds. Recently some new designs have been presented one of which is simdjson by Daniel Lemire and
