MinIO AIStor

MinIO AIStor combines persistent memory, tables, objects, and files in an enterprise AI data store. AIStor Memory holds agent context, workspaces, secrets, artifacts, and telemetry. AIStor Tables provides native Apache Iceberg storage for analytics, feature stores, lakehouse architectures, and structured AI datasets. S3-compatible object storage covers models, checkpoints, training datasets, embeddings, documents, media, and logs. Access and integration options include S3, S3 Express, MCP, SFTP and Files, Iceberg Catalog, and OpenSharing. Management features include an admin console, QoS, lifecycle management, encryption, key management, a data firewall, and immutability. The product lists several replication modes, along with audit trails, Prometheus metrics, and error logs. Installation options include Linux, Windows, macOS, Kubernetes Helm, OpenShift, and Podman. AIStor Free costs nothing and includes the full feature set, but is intended for single-node, self-supported use without resilience beyond one node; redistribution is prohibited. Enterprise and Enterprise Lite pricing is available on request. Lite is for capacity requirements below 400 TiB; deployments exceeding that are upgraded to Enterprise. A 60-day trial is listed.
