MinIO vs. Paperwork vs. Riak CS vs. SwiftStack Comparison Chart

MinIO's high-performance object storage suite is software defined and enables customers to build cloud-native data infrastructure for machine learning, analytics and application data workloads. MinIO object storage is fundamentally different. Designed for performance and the S3 API, it is 100% open-source. MinIO is ideal for large, private cloud environments with stringent security requirements and delivers mission-critical availability across a diverse range of workloads. MinIO is the world's fastest object storage server. With READ/WRITE speeds of 183 GB/s and 171 GB/s on standard hardware, object storage can operate as the primary storage tier for a diverse set of workloads ranging from Spark, Presto, TensorFlow, H2O.ai as well as a replacement for Hadoop HDFS. MinIO leverages the hard won knowledge of the web scalers to bring a simple scaling model to object storage. At MinIO, scaling starts with a single cluster which can be federated with other MinIO clusters.
