Read moreDatabases on Object Storage - the New Normal
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
Read moreThe MinIO DataPod: A Reference Architecture for Exascale
The modern enterprise defines itself by its data. This requires a data infrastructure for AI/ML as well as a data infrastructure that is the foundation for a Modern Datalake capable of supporting business intelligence, data analytics, and data science. This is true if they are behind, getting started or using AI for advanced insights. For the foreseeable future, this

This post initially appeared on The New Stack. For a few years there, the term “private cloud” had a negative connotation. But as we know, technology is more of a wheel than an arrow, and right on cue, the private cloud is getting a ton of attention and it is all positive. The statistics are clear, Forrester’s 2023 Infrastructure

The Modern Datalake is one-half data warehouse and one-half data lake and uses object storage for everything. The use of object storage to build a data warehouse is made possible by Open Table Formats OTFs) like Apache Iceberg, Apache Hudi, and Delta Lake, which are specifications that, once implemented, make it seamless for object storage to be used as the

This post first appeared on The New Stack on June 3rd, 2024. I previously wrote about the modern data lake reference architecture, addressing the challenges in every enterprise — more data, aging Hadoop tooling (specifically HDFS) and greater demands for RESTful APIs (S3) and performance — but I want to fill in some gaps. The modern data lake, sometimes referred to as

An abbreviated version of this post appeared on The New Stack on March 19th, 2024. In enterprise artificial intelligence, there are two main types of models: discriminative and generative. Discriminative models are used to classify or predict data, while generative models are used to create new data. Even though Generative AI has dominated the news of late, organizations are still
Read moreWhy Your Enterprise AI Strategy Is Likely to Fail in 2024: Model Down vs. Data Up
I suspect some folks will accuse me of clickbait titling. Others will say, that’s not really a reach - most folks will fail in their initial AI attempts but it doesn’t matter and the learnings are worth it. On some level both are right - but I think WHY enterprises will fail is worth exploration and may allow

We were recently asked by a journalist to help frame the challenges and complexity of the hybrid cloud for technology leaders. 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
