Appreciate the mention. Just to clarify: AIStore is a reliable storage cluster that can natively operate on both in-cluster and remote data, without treating either as a cache. Yes, it _can_ be configured to act as a cache in front of any of the four supported Clouds but (a) we've never done so at NVIDIA, and (b) its primary function always was - and remains - reliable, resilient storage for AI/ML workloads. For details: * https://github.com/NVIDIA/aistore

There's a development/playground deployment for local K8s (e.g. Minikube, KinD): https://github.com/NVIDIA/aistore/tree/main/deploy/dev/k8s. For production you'd need a proper cluster deployed via Helm, but for trying it out locally that setup is easy to get running.

github.com/NVIDIA/aistore At the 1 billion valuation from the previous round, achieving a successful exit requires a company with deep pockets. Right now, Nvidia is probably a suitable buyer for MinIO, which might explain all the recent movements from them. Dell, Broadcom, NetApp, etc, are not going to buy them.

Might be because of this other storage product named that https://github.com/NVIDIA/aistore

And the naming conflicts with NVidia's AIStore (https://github.com/NVIDIA/aistore). The two products are extremely similar. I don't know which came first, but Minio is going to want to do another pivot very soon if they want to survive. I doubt they have the resources to stand up to NVidia's army of extremely well-paid IP lawyers.

Check out from nvidia, aistore: https://github.com/NVIDIA/aistore It's not a fully featured s3 compatible service, like MinIO, but we used it to great success as a local on-prem s3 read/write cache with AWS as the backing S3 store. This avoided expensive network egress charges as we wanted to process data in both AWS as well as in a non-AWS GPU cluster (i.e. a neocloud)

I've only played with it a bit but Nvidia AIStore project seems underappreciated: "lightweight, built-from-scratch storage stack tailored for AI applications" + S3 compatible https://github.com/NVIDIA/aistore

Check out this one - https://github.com/NVIDIA/aistore https://aiatscale.org/ It is an object storage system and more..

> If you think more about this, it will be like distributed key value store with support both disk and memory access. You can write one using some opensource Raft libraries, or a possible candidate is Tikv from PingCap My whole point was not building it ;) There's also https://github.com/NVIDIA/aistore
