Introducing MinIO ExaPOD: The Reference Architecture for Exascale AI

Rakshith Venkatesh Rakshith Venkatesh on AI/ML | 13 November 2025

AI has shifted the baseline for infrastructure, from managing petabytes to operating seamlessly at exabyte scale. Agentic systems, long-context language models, simulation pipelines, and large-scale observability now demand storage architectures purpose-built for this data reality. Today we’re thrilled to announce ExaPOD, MinIO’s validated reference architecture for the exascale era: a one-exabyte, highly dense and efficient building block that

An Easier Path to Scalable AI: Intel Tiber Developer Cloud + MinIO Object Store

Keith Pijanowski Keith Pijanowski on AI/ML | 24 October 2024

One of the biggest challenges facing organizations today for AI and data management is access to reliable infrastructure and compute resources. The Intel Tiber Developer Cloud is purpose-built for engineers who need an environment for proof-of-concepts, experimentation, model training, and service deployments. Unlike other clouds, which can be unapproachable and complex, the Intel Tiber Developer Cloud is simple and easy

Impact of Intel vs. ARM CPU Performance for Object Storage

Frank Wessels Frank Wessels on Intel | 3 June 2020

The recent announcement from AWS about the general availability of their new ARM-powered Graviton2 servers caused us to take another look at the performance of these ARM servers. In this blog post we describe the results which you may find surprising. Introduction MinIO [https://github.com/minio/minio] is an Apache licensed, open source S3-compatible object storage server with a

Accelerating aggregate MD5 hashing up to 800% with AVX512

Frank Wessels Frank Wessels on Performance | 28 April 2020

Introduction While MD5 hashing is no longer a good choice when considering a hash function, it is still being used in a great variety of applications. 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

simdjson-go: Parsing gigabytes of JSON per second in Go

Frank Wessels Frank Wessels on Golang | 10 February 2020

Introduction JSON 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
