Jonathan Symonds, Chief Marketing Officer, discusses the market impact MinIO has had in just a few years. He demonstrates that MinIO is the most widely deployed object storage server with over 300 million Docker pulls, 6500 Slack members, and 500 contributors. MinIO has surpassed Ceph and Swift in terms of GitHub stars in just four years, suggesting the widespread use of the software.

He is then joined by AB Periasamy, Founder and CEO, to discuss enterprise and industry traction and third-party use. MinIO is used by Splunk, Nutanix, Qumulo, Datera, McKesson, Portworx, IBM, Cerner, and others.

A Review of MinIO’s Performance Benchmarks

Jonathan Symonds, Chief Marketing Officer, and AB Periasamy, Founder and CEO, present MinIO’s performance. This has been a core direction for the product development since the start, with MinIO claiming that it is the fastest object store available. They show benchmarks for S3 performance, with and without encryption, on both hard disk drives and NVMe SSDs. They then compare MinIO with HDFS and AWS.

Next, they dive into the underlying design of MinIO. It is a single layer object-only storage server that implements SIMD acceleration, has no metadata database, and is written in GO and assembly language.

AB Periasamy, Founder and CEO, gives the Field Day delegates a tour of the architecture and internals of the MinIO object storage server. MinIO designed to be a very fast web server rather than a storage array. It is a single-layer architecture with consistent and atomic storage functions. It uses a heterogeneous scaling model that can be distributed across servers and datacenters with continuous data replication. MinIO has a complete S3 protocol interface and includes erasure coding, encryption, and lambda functions.

The MinIO SUBNET Experience


Watch on YouTube
Watch on Vimeo

AB Periasamy, Founder and CEO, presents MinIO SUBNET, the experience for paying customers. He claims that customers pay for support once they deploy MinIO in critical, customer-facing situations. SUBNET brings “dev” and “ops” together with real-time support for production customers. The goal is for MinIO to be an extended part of the customer team. SUBNET is priced from free (for open source projects) to per-GB pricing (for enterprises), and site licenses.

Eco Willson, Support Lead, then demonstrates MinIO SUBNET for the Field Day delegates.
