Hyperscale
Object Store for AI
================================
MinIO AIStor is designed to allow enterprises to consolidate all of
their data on a single, private cloud namespace. Architected using
the same principles as the hyperscalers, AIStor delivers performance
at scale at a fraction of the cost compared to the public cloud.

MinIO AIStor is Designed
for AI Scale Challenges
--------------------------------------------------
[Learn more about AI Scale](/product/aistor-overview)
1.
Hyper-Performant
----------------
MinIO AIStor is the world’s fastest object store with production throughput in excess of 2.2 TiB/s and [published benchmarks](https://resources.min.io/l/library?contentType=benchmark) that have set the performance standard for modern object stores. Take on any workload, on any cloud, public, private or edge, or across them all.
2.
Software Defined
----------------
True software is [software you can download](/download?view=aistor) and run on any commodity hardware - even heterogeneous architectures. That is exactly what AIStor offers from ARM to x86. MinIO's flexibility has established it as the standard in the cloud-native world.
3.
Exascale
--------
AIStor supports [active-active, strictly consistent, multi-site replication](/product/active-data-replication-for-object-storage) as well as multi-rack deployments. This enables the creation of a single namespace, across thousands of distributed nodes simultaneously. The result is remarkable scale and simplicity.
4.
Security
--------
MinIO’s ultra-efficient, [state-of-the-art encryption](/product/enterprise-object-storage-encryption) supports granular object-level encryption, is fully compatible with S3 and extends S3 to support non-AWS key management services. Built for exascale, AIStor offers its own KMS and S3 aware firewall.
5.
Enterprise Grade
----------------
AIStor comes with every [imaginable enterprise feature](/product/aistor-overview#eo-replication) - and then some. From IAM to ILM, from security to load balancing, from caching to observability - each feature is designed for AI scale and carries MinIO’s obsession with simplicity.
6.
Object Native
-------------
In the cloud, everything runs on object storage - GenAI, machine learning, databases, data processing and web applications. MinIO has driven innovation in object storage since day one. It is all that we do. If you want the best object store on the market - you are in the right place.
AIStor Delivers
Unparalleled TCO
----------------------------------
[Talk to Value Engineering](#)
### Save 60% vs. Public Cloud Costs
[Private cloud savings](https://blog.min.io/the-economics-of-public-cloud-repatriation/) are driven on storage cost per GiB, encryption (no cost), support (fully included, direct to engineer) and data access/egress/replication (no cost). We are happy to share our model or build one with you.
### Save 40% vs. Appliance Vendors
[Appliance vendors](https://blog.min.io/understanding-true-costs-hardware-and-software-for-10pb/) feast on lock-in. The “initial” cost might seem low, but the maintenance, upgrade and out year costs quickly balloon. AIStor pricing includes everything but the HW. AIStor supports multiple HW vendors in a single deployment.Â
### Save 70% vs. HDFS
Disaggregation of storage and compute deliver 50% savings right off the bat. Add to the inherent simplicity advantages of [AIStor vs. the Hadoop ecosystem](https://blog.min.io/migrating-hdfs-to-object-storage/) and TCO savings exceed 70% - with improved performance.Â
### Scale & Save
AIStor is priced on capacity and for customers that invest in us, we return the favor with massive discounts at scale. The result is unit costs that are 80% less expensive than AWS at 100 PiB.
AIStor is Native to
the AI Ecosystem
--------------------------------------
From Anyscale to Zilliz, the AI revolution is powered by
technologies that are either built on MinIO or integrated with it.

S3
--
No object store outside of AWS is more compatible with S3. MinIO’s footprint of more than 6M deployments is its proofpoint.

MinIO has solved a lot of our replication problems.
IT Analyst
MinIO's configuration is much easier to use versus Ceph Cluster. Operation, maintenance and performance are what we like most about MinIO.
Site Reliability Engineer
We selected MinIO because it's cloud native, S3 compatibility, extendable with our own backup solution agent. High availability and policy driven.
Systems Engineer
We use MinIO as a core function for delivering software updates and receiving secure telemetry from our product line.
CEO
MinIO is essential to us as a company doing ML. Our data is sensitive, and we want very specific control over it because our customers expect that data to be secure. Also, the cost of using MinIO compared to our previous setup with other providers really makes it shine. Immediately after migration, we calculated a savings of over 60%.
Engineering Manager
When I think back over the last couple of years at all the different issues I've had to resolve, not once have I had to resolve an issue related to MinIO. It just works. It has been the most fault-tolerant and reliable part of our platform.
Vice President of Engineering
It's been a huge benefit to be able to provide S3 compatible storage to all of our teams without incurring the costs and complexity of Amazon S3.
Principal Platform Engineer
Saved 60% after migration from a previous provider.
SRE Team Lead
Flexibility. More than 50% cost savings.
Technical Consultant
MinIO is awesome. Easy to operate. Fully S3 compatible.
Principal Developer
The ease and speed of implementation and production are notable.
Development Coordinator
MinIO reduced cost of resources required by 50%.
