The appliance model — proprietary hardware, forced refresh cycles, and vendor lock-in — is the structural cause of rising storage costs, not a temporary market condition.
MinIO AIStor's software-defined architecture requires 40% less infrastructure than legacy object appliance vendors and runs on any x86 or ARM server with direct-attached storage.
Organizations switching to software-defined object storage on commodity hardware achieve 50–60% lower all-in TCO, with savings that compound every time a proprietary refresh cycle is avoided.
