MinIO

The MinIO team spent the day at Databricks AI Days Minneapolis, partnering with Databricks on a simple idea: AI shouldn't require moving your data. Field Architect Dwight Evers hosted a session to show how zero-copy analytics connects Databricks directly to live on-prem Delta and Iceberg Tables using AIStor Table Sharing, no pipelines, no duplication, no extra infrastructure. Thank you for having us! P.S. Join us virtually on April 30 for another technical walkthrough: https://bit.ly/4tbdnyP

AI performance is a data problem. Even the most powerful GPUs sit idle when the data path can’t keep up. With MinIO and F5 together, it’s about delivering data faster, more efficiently, and at the scale modern AI demands. ⚡

GigaOm has recognized MinIO in the GigaOm Radar for Object Storage v7. https://bit.ly/3QTFCnd This is continued validation of MinIO’s role in delivering high-performance, scalable object storage for modern AI, analytics, and data-intensive workloads. As enterprises push toward AI-driven architectures, the need for fast, S3-compatible, software-defined storage has never been more critical. MinIO is purpose-built to meet that demand.

Most organizations still move data to analyze it—even when that data is already where it needs to be. Join MinIO and Databricks to see how zero-copy analytics changes that. This webinar will walk through how to access and analyze data in place using AIStor and native Delta Sharing—without duplication, delay, or added risk. If you're working across on-prem and cloud, or looking to simplify your data architecture while accelerating insight, this is for you. 🗓️ Register here: https://bit.ly/4tbdnyP

Thinking about getting MinIO certified? Here's a quick checklist to help you gauge your readiness, from core object storage fundamentals to hands-on experiences. Certification isn't just about passing an exam. It's proving you can run high-performance, production-grade object storage for AI and analytics workloads. 📝 Join our upcoming webinar with Curriculum Engineer Philip Sweany to get prepared. https://bit.ly/3OiT5Et

What if you didn’t have to choose between security, sovereignty, and AI power? We're teaming up with Databricks for another webinar to discuss how agencies are connecting world-class AI platforms directly to classified and sensitive data without moving, copying, or compromising security. 🗓️ Register today for mission advantage with AI in the future. 

Three forces are reshaping enterprise data architecture: 1️⃣ Data gravity, more data staying on-prem, by necessity 2️⃣ AI workloads, requiring access to fresh, live data 3️⃣ Cost pressure, exposing the inefficiency of replication at scale The traditional model doesn't hold up under any of them. Denis Dubeau at Databricks outlined the architectural shift that data should be shared, not moved. Ryan Garrett at MinIO shows what that looks like in practice with Delta Sharing, embedded directly into the storage layer with AIStor. No replication pipelines. No standalone sharing infrastructure. No duplicate governance models. This is what modern hybrid AI and analytics look like. https://bit.ly/4epKt9s

MinIO has been named "Overall Data Storage Company of the Year" in the 2026 Data Breakthrough Awards ⭐ This recognition reflects what matters most to us: delivering high-performance, software-defined object storage that powers the modern enterprise. From AI and analytics to cloud-native applications, organizations rely on MinIO to handle massive scale, simplify operations, and unlock the full value of their data—without compromise. Congratulations to our team for pushing the boundaries of what data infrastructure can do. https://bit.ly/4thQDxe

A reset. A redesign. A rethinking. AI is forcing a new balance between compute, storage, and network. If one lags, everything does. The winners won’t be those with the most GPUs, but those who keep them fully utilized. Get AI infrastructure right with Chief Corporate Development Officer Ran Kurup.

AI is reshaping how the world's best companies operate. But most enterprises are still leaving performance on the table. The reason is storage, and it's a problem MinIO was built to solve. MinIO is the high-performance data store for AI and analytics, and it shows... ➡ AIStor is the only software-defined object store built for the AI era. Exascale performance, limitless scale, no proprietary lock-in. ➡ MinIO is profitable, trusted by more than half the Fortune 500, and scaling aggressively to usher data-intensive organizations into the AI era. ➡ A built-in data engine handles management, replication, resilience, and acceleration. No bolted-on tools required. ➡ Works everywhere. Edge, core, and cloud, with support for both table and object data. The industry is taking notice. CRN just named MinIO to The 50 Coolest Software-Defined Storage Vendors as part of the 2026 Storage 100: https://bit.ly/3Q4WhnD
