The growth of Presto in the enterprise is a function of its speed, SQL compatibility, extensibility and enterprise feature set. While initially designed to speed up Hadoop, the success of the project has led to much broader adoption - on S3, Cassandra, MySQL, and more. Presto allows for data queries that traverse data stores and locations - a big plus

Well written software is fast software. When MinIO was conceived it was designed from scratch to be simple, to scale (because simple things scale better) and to be fast. Simplicity and scale have their own subjective and objective measures - but fast is generally a numbers game. When you take well-written, fast software and pair it with fast hardware the

High performance object storage is one of the hotter topics in the enterprise today. On the one hand, object storage has become an indispensable part of the enterprise storage strategy (public or private cloud) - carrying the vast, vast majority of the enterprise burden when measured in TBs or PBs. On the other hand, object storage has traditionally served a

Software isn't usually described as bombproof. Particularly the type of software that is responsible for large analytic jobs or machine learning workloads. The words “finicky”, “complex” or in the case of good marketing “professional grade” (meaning you need years of study and multiple certifications) are more common. Bombproof software, however, is one of the many benefits associated with active open

When early object storage APIs were developed they focused on the efficient storage and retrieval of objects. Amazon’s success with S3 and its implementation of the robust S3 API quickly became the de facto standard for object storage in the cloud. MinIO, recognizing this, invested heavily in creating the most compliant implementation of the S3 API outside of Amazon.

Minio now has built-in support for exporting Prometheus compatible data on an unauthenticated endpoint. This enables Prometheus monitoring for Minio server deployments without sharing server credentials and eliminates the need to run an external Prometheus exporter.

ZFS completely removed the need to manually handle physical storage or worry about their individual capacities. ZFS is also a pioneer in its ability to detect data corruption and recover if data redundancy is available. However, as we already discussed [https://blog.minio.io/

One of the major requirements for success with IoT strategy is the ability to store and analyze device and sensor data. As IoT brings thousands of devices online everyday, the data being generated by all these devices combined is reaching staggering levels. > Storing the IoT data in a scalable yet cost effective manner, while being able to analyze it easily

Erasure coding [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erasure_code] is a reliable approach to shard data across multiple drives and fetch it back, even when a few of the drives are not available. MinIO server leverages Reed Solomon [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed%E2%80%93Solomon_error_correction] erasure coding to ensure data redundancy in multiple disk deployments. Until

It is designed with simplicity in mind and offers limited scalability (n <= 16). Each node is connected to all other nodes and lock requests from any node will be broadcast to all connected nodes. A node will succeed in getting the
