High Performance Object Storage in
30 Minutes with MinIO

2. Building Clouds
With Supermicro
Solutions, building
Cloud is very simple
!!!

3. Can you give me a total
solution (Hardware +
Software + Service) ???
How to build
1. Cloud Computing
2. Cloud Storage
Can you help me build compute solutions
such as
1. OpenStack
2. Kubernetes Containers
What kind of storage I need for these
solutions? Is object storage my best choice?

5. Summary

7. What is MinIO
MinIO is a high performance,
Kubernetes-native object store. It is
designed for large-scale data
infrastructure.
It was built from scratch to be cloud
native.
It has become the storage standard for
hybrid cloud & multi-cloud
architectures.

8. Guiding Principles
MinIO is focused on
performance.
MinIO’s benchmark’s have
established us as the fastest
object store in existence.
Kubernetes-native. Born in the
cloud with cloud native DNA.
MinIO is designed for
simplicity.

9. A Global Growth Story

10. Every Imaginable Enterprise Feature + Then Some
S3 COMPATIBLE
Amazon S3 API is the de facto standard for object storage.
MinIO implements Amazon S3 v2/v4 API + S3 Select
FULL INTERACTION SUITE
MinIO offers a developer-driven command line interface in
addition to an IT-friendly graphical user interface.
LAMBDA COMPUTE
MinIO server triggers Lambda functions through event
notification service. OCR, audit compliance are good
examples of lambda computing.
ERASURE CODE & BITROT PROTECTION
You may lose up to half the number of drives and still recover
from it. Data protection code is accelerated using SIMD
instructions on x64 and ARM CPUs.
ACTIVE ACTIVE REPLICATION
A resilient and scalable architecture that can
withstand a complete DC failure.
MONITORING
API driven capabilities with a suite of web hooks to
your favorite apps.
ACCESS MANAGEMENT
MinIO Server integrates with Identity Providers such as
WSO2, Keycloak, Okta, Ping Identity to allow applications
or users to authenticate and use Object Storage.
ENCRYPTION & TAMPER-PROOF
MinIO provides confidentiality, integrity and authenticity
assurances for encrypted data with negligible performance
overhead.
IMMUTABILITY
Complete suite of object locking capabilities is Cohasset
certified - required by financial services and healthcare
customers.
KUBERNETES-NATIVE
MinIO was built natively for RESTful APIs - no connectors
needed. More than 62% of MinIO instances are
containerized with 43% of those managed via Kubernetes.

14. High Performance

15. What Makes MinIO Fast
SINGLE LAYER
We are a single layer, object only.
Multiple layers cause latency, complexity.
SIMD ACCELERATION
By writing the core parts of MinIO in assembly
language (SIMD extensions) we are hyperfast on
commodity HW.
COMBINATION OF GO + GOASM
Delivering faster than C performance by
combining GO + Assembly Language and
targeting them to the task.
NO METADATA DATABASE
By writing object and metadata together you
make all operations single and atomic.
Multiple steps for other vendors.
