Multi-Site Active-Active Replication

Ravind Kumar Ravind Kumar on Operator's Guide 24 September 2021

Synchronizing data between multiple data centers is a core competency of any object storage service. MinIO already checked this box with its performance optimized Server-Side Active-Active Bucket Replication. Initially, MinIO only recommended two MinIO deployments. Active-Active replication supports scenarios such as: Same-DC ReplicationCross-DC ReplicationSame-Region ReplicationCross-Region ReplicationActive-Active replication is a key tool for organizations looking for multi-primary topologies, fast hot-hot failover,

The Network Effect of the Cloud Native Elite

Jonathan Symonds Jonathan Symonds on Cloud Native 8 September 2021

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,

Mono Clouds vs Multi-Clouds & Hybrid Clouds

Jonathan Symonds Jonathan Symonds on Multicloud 1 July 2021

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 Architect's Guide to the Multi-Cloud

Jonathan Symonds Jonathan Symonds on Architect's Guide 16 June 2021

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.

Kubernetes, Consistency and Commoditization - The Way of the Cloud

Jonathan Symonds Jonathan Symonds on Hybrid Cloud 21 April 2021

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

An Architect's Guide to the Hybrid Cloud

Jonathan Symonds Jonathan Symonds on Hybrid Cloud 17 March 2021

As we ease into 2021, there are a few technology vectors that are dictating the conversation for IT architects. The dominant one is Kubernetes. Related, and quickly becoming “standard,” is the hybrid cloud. The challenges inherent in an architect's role are only compounded when planning for the hybrid cloud. First, it is new and marketing has a tendency to outrun

Five Years in the Making

Garima Kapoor Garima Kapoor on Hybrid Cloud 11 March 2021

Today marks a special anniversary for MinIO. It has been five years since we had our first GA release on GitHub. The journey to that point and from that point (5,396 commits later) has been nothing short of amazing and we wanted to take a quick moment to recap our thinking when we started and where we are now.

Storage Field Day Session #1: Understanding MinIO

Jonathan Symonds Jonathan Symonds on SFD 28 January 2021

As we said in our opening, we love Storage Field Day because it is a chance for us to reflect on our accomplishments while forcing us to confront our future. We say confront because the delegates at SFD are among the brightest, politest group of skeptics you are likely to encounter. They push you for answers, they challenge you for

Storage Field Day Session #4: Hybrid Cloud

Jonathan Symonds Jonathan Symonds on SFD 28 January 2021

We got crunched for time at the end of our SFD slot. Given how important the hybrid cloud story is to our future, I probably shouldn’t have left it for last. Too many great questions threw us off our schedule and we arrived at the start of the section with not enough time to do it justice. So what

Why MinIO Wins the Hybrid Cloud

Jonathan Symonds Jonathan Symonds on Hybrid Cloud 22 January 2021

We just wrapped Storage Field Day 2021 and during our session we generated a particular amount of interest around our hybrid strategy. At the end, we were a little compressed on time, but the message resonated and was the primary subject of the breakout room discussion with the delegates after the cameras stopped rolling. To say the hybrid cloud is

Successful Strategies for the Hybrid Cloud

Jonathan Symonds Jonathan Symonds on Hybrid Cloud 14 November 2020

The Hybrid Cloud is a hot term these days. It should be. Ultimately it will represent the vast majority of enterprise cloud architectures (Gartner is saying 90%+). The public cloud will continue to grow. The private cloud will continue to grow. The edge will continue to grow. All fueled by the data that continues to grow. While the hybrid cloud

MinIO Introduces Continuous Availability and Active-Active Bucket Replication

Jonathan Symonds Jonathan Symonds on Operator's Guide 6 October 2020

One of the key requirements driving enterprises towards cloud-native object storage platforms is the ability to consume storage in a multi-data center setup. Multiple data centers provide resilient, highly available storage clusters, capable of withstanding the complete failure of one or more of those data centers. Multi-data center support brings private and hybrid cloud infrastructure closer to how the public

When Companies Should Go to the Public Cloud + When they Should Come Back

Jonathan Symonds Jonathan Symonds on Architect's Guide 28 July 2020

Aaron Tilley of the Wall Street Journal has an interesting piece (paywalled) today that speaks to one of the challenges that businesses are facing on the pandemic related technology front. The net of it is that companies are spending more and more on cloud costs, sometimes independent of their business outcomes. It doesn't compute long term. More importantly, we think
