Build a S3-Compatible Private Cloud That Performs at Scale
Global enterprises are repatriating workloads from the public cloud to regain control over performance and cost—but they still need cloud-native agility. Discover how companies achieve true S3-compatibility on private cloud infrastructure with MinIO AIStor, eliminating the 20-30 PB wall that limits legacy systems while reaching 1+ exabyte scale.
This comprehensive guide reveals how to build private clouds that deliver hyperscaler performance on industry-standard hardware, with linear scaling, no gateway bottlenecks, and the same developer experience as AWS S3.

Learn how to cut cloud costs by 60% while maintaining S3 compatibility and full data control.
What's Inside?
Your Complete S3-Compatible Private Cloud Guide
The Private Cloud Architecture Decision — Compare object-native vs. retrofit gateway approaches, understand why legacy SAN/NAS systems hit the 20-30 PB scaling wall, and learn the technical trade-offs that determine long-term success
Building True S3 Compatibility Without Gateways — Understand the critical difference between native S3 implementation and bolt-on protocols—and why gateway layers introduce latency, metadata bottlenecks, and scaling limitations
Deployment Strategies for Bare Metal and Kubernetes — Step-by-step guidance for deploying S3-compatible private clouds in minutes on bare metal, virtualized infrastructure, or within Kubernetes
Achieving Exabyte-Scale Performance — Explore cloud-native design and stateless architecture, erasure coding, and elimination of metadata bottlenecks to reach 21.8 TB/s aggregate throughput with linear scaling across nodes
TCO Analysis and Hardware Planning — Calculate true cost savings from eliminating egress fees and API charges, leverage commodity hardware for predictable economics, and model your infrastructure requirements for private cloud deployment
Real-World Private Cloud Case Studies — Learn how a global payments provider migrated petabytes from legacy object-gateway systems while maintaining billions of small-file workloads and achieving 70-80% faster report generation
