Architecture & Design Patterns

There's a disconnect at the center of most AI and analytics infrastructure. Whether it's GPU-accelerated model training or petabyte-scale Spark and Presto queries, modern workloads have pushed compute, networking, and orchestration forward. But data storage often remains anchored to architectures designed decades ago for different workloads. The result: state-of-the-art infrastructure bottlenecked by storage systems that can&

Object storage is the primary storage solution for OLAP databases. This survey highlights major database players that have embraced this movement.

Large numbers of small files present big challenges for application performance.

AIStor S3 Express is a high-performance object storage API designed for demanding data lakehouse workloads. Benchmarks show it outperforming AWS S3 Express on LIST operations and large object GETs.

Creating a framework for high-performance, cloud-native object storage is mission-critical in the modern enterprise. Take a look at The Buyer’s Guide to Software Defined #ObjectStorage to understand the key capabilities.

Choosing the right open table format—Apache Iceberg, Delta Lake, or Apache Hudi—can make or break your data lakehouse. This guide breaks down their strengths, how they integrate with object storage, and which one is best for AI, analytics, and real-time workloads.

Running AIStor on OpenShift enables enterprises to achieve cloud-native elasticity on their hardware or cloud instance of choice, balance cost, capacity and performance.

Deep dive into AIStor mindset on how we do and recommend updates and restarts with AIStor.

In this tutorial, we’ll bake the MinIO binary and the service dependencies, such as the username and group required for MinIO. We are baking this instead of frying because these will remain the same no matter how we configure and launch our image.

In this blog, we will demonstrate how to use MinIO to build a Retrieval Augmented Generation(RAG) based chat application using commodity hardware.

Do you know the secret to some of the best AI models out there? It's the amount of data they had access to on which they could be trained on. For AI/ML models Fast accessible Data is King. Let me emphasize, it's not just Data, but fast accessible Data.
