Working with Small Objects in AI/ML workloads
Cloud-native AI/ML workloads push storage to the limit with many small files. MinIO Enterprise Object Store combines metadata and data to optimize small file operations.

We Tried the Dell ObjectScale Community Edition, It Wasn’t Pretty
Dell generally focused on the filer game, but they dabble in object storage and have a very old offering, ECS. That makes sense, it was a step up from tape and wasn’t suited for dynamic workloads like HDFS modernization or database workloads. Needless to say, AI was out of the question. For a few years now, Dell has been
Read more...Databases 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

MinIO is the fastest object storage available, but how do you know that underlying infrastructure is free from bottlenecks?
Read more...Data and Drive parity on AIStor
We often talk about how good, fast and reliable access to data is paramount if you want to have an upper hand in your AI/ML game. Why is this the case? This is because hardware failures happen at different levels.

Do you know the secret to some of the best AI models out there? It's the amount of data they had access to on which they could be trained on. For AI/ML models Fast accessible Data is King. Let me emphasize, it's not just Data, but fast accessible Data.

In this post we’ll primarily focus on how to manage drives that are failing. We’ll either try to bring them to a good state or show the best practices on how to replace them altogether without impacting existing operations.

Email is the ultimate performance-at-scale use case as it generally only goes up in terms of data volume. Further, the more data that’s stored, the more valuable the data becomes. MinIO’s multi-site active-active replication focuses on keeping the cluster in top performance.

You don't have to rebalance data saved to MinIO, but you can if you want to.
Read more...Storage Infrastructure for Automating Configuration Management with Salt and Puppet
Globally there has been a shift to bring applications closer to home. Enterprises want more control of their data and have had enough of paying egress fees to the public cloud to get access to their own data. Besides cost, there is also the matter of security, or lack thereof, when resources are shared with unknown organizations. Vulnerabilities can trickle

Learn how to troubleshoot object storage performance with low level system component testing.
Read more...Putting a Filesystem on Top of an Object Store is a Bad Idea. Here is why.
When purchasing storage, the emphasis is usually on media, but it may be even more important to consider access methods too. You will need to take storage protocols into account when designing and procuring infrastructure, especially when you leave legacy storage behind in order to migrate to cloud-native object storage. However, object storage relies on the S3 API for communications,

First introduced in late 2021, multi-site Active-Active Replication [https://blog.min.io/minio-multi-site-active-active-replication/] has grown to be one of the most impactful MinIO features. MinIO has long had the ability to replicate between buckets to synchronize objects, delete operations and metadata changes, but Multi-site Active-Active Replication goes beyond bucket replication to synchronize all buckets, IAM, security tokens, service accounts and
