What Happens When Databricks Can Query Your On-Premises Data Directly
arrow
Until recently, data that stayed on-premises was data that Databricks couldn't reach. If your analytics and AI workloads ran in Databricks, and your most valuable data lived on-prem, you had two options: build and maintain a replication pipeline to copy data into the cloud, or accept that certain datasets simply wouldn't participate in your cloud analytics.Both options carry real costs. But a third option now exists: Databricks querying on-premises data directly, with no copies and no pipelines, through the open Delta Sharing protocol embedded natively in MinIO AIStor.

Why Modern AI Architecture Breaks at the Data Layer
arrow
Modern AI architecture rests on a comfortable assumption: when AI slows down, the fix is more compute or a better model. Bigger GPUs. Denser clusters. New architectures. That assumption is now costing organizations real money.
