AIStor

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.

Databricks needs your on-prem data. AIStor Table Sharing delivers it live — no replication, no pipelines.

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.

Storage, not models or compute, is now AI's biggest bottleneck. The fix is an architectural one, not a bigger GPU.

106 million vectors indexed 12x faster. AIStor with NVIDIA cuVS and GPUDirect RDMA rewrites the benchmark.

Legacy storage talks to the AI factory. AIStor lives inside it — running natively on NVIDIA BlueField-4 Vera
