HDFS Powered the Early Wave of Big Data
But today's pipelines need more flexibility, speed, and compatibility with AI and modern analytics tools.
Coupled Compute + Storage Limits Scalability
Tightly integrated architecture drives up TCO and prevents independent scaling of resources as your data grows.
Limited Cloud-Native Compatibility
HDFS wasn't built for modern infrastructure, creating friction with cloud-native tools and hybrid deployments.
Complex, Brittle Operations
Outdated replication modes and operational complexity increase risk and drain valuable engineering resources.
Tooling Gaps for Modern Analytics & AI
Today's lakehouse engines and AI frameworks demand performance and compatibility HDFS can't deliver.
Why MinIO AIStor?
Replace HDFS with cloud-native object storage—without forcing you to start over.
1
Architecture Built for Modern Infrastructure
Today's data lakehouse environments demand independent scaling of compute and storage. AIStor supports a disaggregated architecture with high-density, high-throughput storage that evolves with you, delivering performance HDFS can't match.
2
Performance That Scales
AIStor delivers cloud-native object storage for Spark, Hive, Flink or Iceberg — powering fast, consistent performance across diverse file sizes, BI and analytics workloads, and AI pipelines.
3
Real-Time Resilience and Security
AIStor replaces HDFS's 3x replication with inline erasure coding, bitrot protection, and active-active replication, offering stronger data protection with significantly less storage waste.
4
Efficiency That Lowers TCO
AIStor's simplicity reduces operational complexity and infrastructure overhead. Less hardware, fewer copies of data required, and fewer moving parts to troubleshoot means greater efficiency, lower TCO, and more freedom to grow.
