Technical catalogs track table state at the storage layer. Platform catalogs federate technical catalogs within an ecosystem. Business catalogs span the entire organization. Most organizations need all three layers working together.

On-premises data should participate in cloud AI/ML workflows without copying it anywhere. Delta Sharing should be embedded directly into object storage, eliminating separate servers and infrastructure. Data stays put. Queries travel.

Delta Sharing + MinIO AIStor enables direct access to on-prem data from Databricks without data duplication. Organizations can now query their hybrid infrastructure through a single interface, eliminating storage costs and synchronization complexity.

The "big data king" that enterprises spent billions on is dying. Not from lack of trying, but because cloud-native alternatives now beat it at its own game. AIStor is faster and cheaper than HDFS. The revolution is happening in quarters, not decades.

To support AI and analytics, a data lakehouse must be secure by design. This blog covers best practices for securing storage, metadata, and catalog layers including encryption, fine-grained IAM, audit logging, object locking, and multi-site replication without sacrificing performance.

Relationships matter, especially in your data. Explore graph analytics without moving data using PuppyGraph, Apache Iceberg, and MinIO AIStor. Quickly set up a cloud-native graph analytics stack that uncovers hidden patterns directly from your data lakehouse.

Legacy systems drain budgets, slow innovation, and block AI progress. This article shows how phased modernization cuts costs, boosts performance, and builds a future-ready data foundation without disruption. Inaction is the real risk.

Discover the power of Apache Iceberg and AIStor in transforming data lakehouses! From multi-engine compatibility to time travel, schema evolution, and blazing-fast performance, this guide dives deep into how Iceberg unlocks the full potential of modern AI and analytics workloads.
