MinIO - High-Performance S3 Compatible Object Storage for Private Cloud
MinIO is a high-performance, S3 compatible object store, open sourced under GNU AGPLv3 license. It is designed for large-scale private cloud infrastructure, providing a simple, scalable, and cost-effective storage solution for unstructured data.
Project Introduction
Summary
MinIO is a cloud-native, high-performance object storage system designed for petabyte-scale data. It's open source and provides full compatibility with the Amazon S3 API, making it the ideal choice for building private cloud storage infrastructure.
Problem Solved
Modern applications require scalable, performant, and flexible object storage. Traditional solutions are often proprietary, complex, and expensive, while public cloud storage can introduce egress costs and vendor lock-in. MinIO addresses these issues by providing an open-source, S3-compatible, high-performance object storage solution deployable anywhere.
