Read more...Together, MinIO and Commvault provide a software-defined and hardware agnostic backup, restore and replication system that is both simple and powerful at the same time.
Read more...Continuity (replication) is a better path than recovery (backup). MinIO keeps your business up in the face of disaster.
Read more...The Apache Iceberg data lake storage format enables ACID transactions on tables saved to MinIO. ACID transactions enable multiple users and services to concurrently and reliably add and remove records atomically. At the same time, queries are isolated to maintain read consistency against tables that are in the process of being altered. You can put MinIO and Iceberg, in conjunction

In 2020 and 2021, we saw an increase in the number and severity of ransomware attacks, and 2022 promises to continue this fearsome trend. According to BlackFog [https://www.blackfog.com/2021-ransomware-attack-report/], in 2021 there was a record total of 292 reported ransomware attacks. Of

Read more...While MinIO is known for being a high-performance, cloud-native object store, the security of the system and the resilience of the data have always been paramount. From erasure coding [https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-erasure-code-quickstart-guide.html], bitrot protection, object healing, WORM and sophisticated, performant encryption - ensuring data is safe - across a number a different vectors has always guided
Read more...There are dozens of use cases for object locking, but one that is getting a tremendous amount of attention these days is ransomware. Ransomware works by encrypting your files and holding you hostage for the encryption key. Until recently, backups were the forgotten part of the Ransomware workflow. Because they were “just backups” they were not well protected and as

Object Locking functionality is a requirement for many regulated industries from financial services to healthcare. Lifecycle management is an increasingly critical element in the data ecosystem. Data is the primary asset in most organizations at this point - more so than the
