Introduction to MinIO
Taken from the official website
MinIO is a high-performance, distributed object storage system. It is a software product that can run 100% on standard hardware. That is, low-cost machines such as X86 can also run MinIO well.
MinIO is different from traditional storage and other object storage in that it has designed software architecture for private cloud standards with higher performance requirements from the beginning. Because MinIO was only designed for object storage from the beginning. So he adopted a more easy-to-use way to design, it can realize all the functions required by object storage, and it is more powerful in performance. It will not compromise for more business functions and lose the ease of use and efficiency of MinIO. . The benefit of this result is that it can more easily implement native object storage services with elastic scalability.
MinIO excels in traditional object storage use cases such as auxiliary storage, disaster recovery and archiving. At the same time, it is also unique in storage technologies such as machine learning, big data, private cloud, and hybrid cloud. Of course, the support of data analysis, high-performance application load, and native cloud is not excluded.
In China: Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu, China Unicom, Huawei, China Mobile and more than 9,000 companies are also using MinIO products
