MinIO

The solution combines MinIO’s
high-performance, multi-cloud object store with the Snowflake Data Cloud to
enable customers to access their data on multiple clouds - public or private
MinIO
Inc., creators of the MinIO Multi-Cloud Object Storage suite, announced a partnership with Snowflake,
the Data Cloud company, which makes data stored on MinIO available to Snowflake
customers regardless of where that data resides - from the edge to the cloud
and across public, private and on-premises instances.
MinIO is
a high performance, Kubernetes-native, S3 compatible object store that is
purpose built for the types of workloads used by Snowflake customers. Its
performance exceeds comparable object stores, delivering tens of gigabytes of
data per node in throughput. The performance characteristics have made MinIO a
leading object store for machine learning frameworks, analytics applications,
databases, web applications and other performance-oriented workloads. MinIO’s
architecture is renowned for its simplicity and scales from terabytes to
exabytes easily.
Joint
customers of MinIO and Snowflake will be able to query and analyze multiple
data sources residing on MinIO with the Snowflake
Data Cloud. This partnership will allow customers to utilize the
capabilities of the Snowflake Data Cloud, without incurring the cost to move data.
It also enables joint customers to take advantage of multi-tenant data or
complete analysis on data that cannot be moved for compliance or other business
reasons.
“The
partnership with Snowflake does more than just make on-premises data available,
it makes data available on multiple public clouds, private clouds, Kubernetes
distribution, colo - even the edge cloud. No matter where the customer is on
their cloud operating model journey, they can now leverage the power of the
Snowflake Data Cloud,” said AB Perisamy, co-founder and CEO of MinIO. “Every
enterprise is a multi-cloud enterprise at this point. With MinIO, Snowflake’s
customers can further maximize their investment in the Snowflake Data Cloud by
accessing all of their data.”
“The
MinIO partnership enables enterprises to extract more insight and value from
their data, no matter its location, while enjoying the elasticity,
intelligence, and governance of the Snowflake Data Cloud,” said Tarik Dwiek,
Head of Technology Alliances at Snowflake. “Together, MinIO and Snowflake can
transform the enterprise data experience, expanding the opportunities for value
creation and insight.”
“We are
very excited to be one of the first multi-cloud customers to benefit from this
partnership,” noted Karen Kim, CEO of Human Managed. “Our cloud-native,
API-driven platform interprets data from any data source to deliver
intelligence on demand. Snowflake and MinIO enable us to do so on behalf of our
clients - no matter where their data resides.”
