Flexibility and Optionality

MinIO with Equinix provides enterprises with the flexibility to optimize their data infrastructure no matter the security, performance or network requirements. You can migrate your object storage to MinIO on an Equinix Metal private cloud or “bring your own hardware” (BYOHW) and utilize Equinix Fabric for interconnect or cloud adjacency.

Certainty

Upwards of 60% of public cloud hosting costs are variable, resulting in potential (and sometimes very large) surprises in your invoice. Even without an accidental recursive function loop or similar surprise, over time, the size of your data will grow - as will your cloud bill. With Equinix and MinIO, there is more certainty, less surprises and more control.

Cost Optimization

Recent customer migrations from public cloud to a MinIO on Equinix Colo model have shown expenditure savings in the 50-75% range. This means that without analyzing and updating any part of your current process or even changing a single line of code, you can effect huge savings for your organization. If you don’t have the ability to manage your own servers, no problem. Large savings can also be had by moving your object storage out of the public cloud and into MinIO on Equinix Metal.

Performance

Enterprises can locate their MinIO object storage stack at a cloud adjacent location, within Equinix International Business Exchanges (IBX) or Equinix Metal, within 1-2 ms RTT from all of the major clouds and <10ms RTT from end customer devices. Enterprises now have the flexibility to run a single object store close/next to, even within all of the public clouds - and do so at edge geographies that push the storage closer to where the data is getting generated.

Persistent Storage Across the Multi-cloud

MinIO’s object storage brings S3 to Equinix. Both Platform Equinix and MinIO can be managed via API, allowing enterprises to automate deployment and other operations. Enterprises use MinIO on Equinix to deliver against their multi-cloud goals and create operational consistency across clouds. Enterprises can confidently migrate high-performance and secure workloads back to the private cloud to achieve massive cost savings and superior security.

Data Residency and Public Cloud Adjacency

Your applications are running in real time, so you want your data close to where it’s produced/used. With 260+ data centers across 71 metropolitan areas in 33 different countries along with a BYOHW capability, Equinix with MinIO has your data residency and access latency concerns covered.

In addition, Equinix is the first data center to commit to using 100% clean and renewable energy.
