The fundamental divide

AI and analytics workloads need easy access to all data across all modes: structured tables and unstructured objects. Today, most data is splintered into silos across databases, filesystems, and object stores.

The key to unlocking AI scale, speed, simplicity is bridging Databases and Data Lakes.

Data warehouses/
databases

Powerful transactions and queries, but limited scale and no native objects.

Structured Data
ACID Transactions
SQL Queries
Row/Column Format
Limited Scale

Data lakes

Unstructured objects, unlimited scale but no transactions or table semantics.

Unstructured Objects
Files & Documents
No Transactions
Any Format
Unlimited Scale

Introducing: AIStor Tables

Native Iceberg Tables in AIStor

MinIO AIStor Tables makes Iceberg tables as native as objects inside AIStor with a built‑in Iceberg Catalog REST API. When the catalog lives inside the object store, tables become first‑class citizens alongside objects.

Guaranteed data correctness with atomic, multi-table transactions
Unified visibility across all AI data, structured and unstructured
Seamless ecosystem fit, works out of the box with leading Iceberg tools

Apache Iceberg

The winning open table standard

The format war is over, and Iceberg won. Every major engine, Snowflake, Trino, Dremio, Starburst, Spark, has adopted Apache Iceberg as the standard for organizing large-scale enterprise data.
