MinIO Hybrid Cloud Object Storage Available Through Red Hat Marketplace and Ecosystem Catalog

MinIO, Inc. announced its hybrid cloud object storage achieved Red Hat OpenShift Operator Certification and is available through Red Hat Marketplace and the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog.

This collaboration enables enterprises to create their own multi-tenant object storage as a service, deployed and managed across hybrid cloud environments using a single interface. Applications running in containers on Red Hat OpenShift can leverage the company’s fully S3-compatible API, simplifying development and operations of hybrid cloud workloads and applications.

“The addition of Red Hat OpenShift to our roster of supported Kubernetes platforms represents a significant milestone for our customer base,” said AB Periasamy, CEO and co-founder, MinIO. “OpenShift has established itself as the enterprise Kubernetes platform and we expect our inclusion in Red Hat Marketplace to broaden MinIO’s reach – making it easier for our joint customers to create, build, deploy and manage cloud-native applications.“

“We believe Red Hat Marketplace is an essential destination to unlock the value of cloud investments,” said Lars Herrmann, VP, partner ecosystems, product and technologies, Red Hat, Inc. “With the marketplace, we are making it as fast and easy as possible for companies to implement the tools and technologies that can help them succeed in this hybrid multicloud world. We’ve simplified the steps to find and purchase tools like MinIO hybrid cloud object storage that are tested, certified and supported on Red Hat OpenShift, and we’ve removed operational barriers to deploying and managing these technologies on Kubernetes-native infrastructure.“

Hybrid Cloud Object Storage architecture

Kubernetes is the standard for container orchestration and infrastructure automation, and OpenShift includes many enhancements to make Kubernetes easier to run and develop for, especially in the area of hybrid cloud. The MinIO OpenShift Operator helps alleviate the burden of provisioning and managing object storage for Kubernetes workloads.

With MinIO and OpenShift, customers can:

• Manage MinIO object storage within OpenShift to create their own multi-tenant object storage as a service, deployed and managed across hybrid cloud environments using a single interface.

• Unify infrastructure and DevOps teams, overcoming challenges to efficiency, security and resiliency in order to run the broadest set of workloads from AI/ML to backup – and everything in between.

• Gain control over the software stack and the flexibility to avoid cloud lock-in, running MinIO’s extensible object store wherever they run OpenShift – public cloud, private cloud, datacenter, edge – and managing it from a single interface.

• Scale MinIO seamlessly and simply from terabyte to exabyte across OpenShift clusters to create a global namespace, spanning multiple data centers, if needed.

• Achieve full-control over an AWS-like infrastructure where OpenShift provides the compute infrastructure and the company provides the object storage.

Built in collaboration by Red Hat, Inc. and IBM Corp., Red Hat Marketplace is designed to meet the needs of developers, procurement teams, and IT leaders through simplified and streamlined access to certified enterprise software. All solutions available through the marketplace have been tested and certified for Red Hat OpenShift, allowing them to run anywhere OpenShift runs. A containers-based approach helps ensure that applications can be run and managed the exact same way, regardless of the underlying cloud infrastructure. This gives companies the flexibility to run their workloads on-premises or in any public or private cloud with improved portability and confidence that their applications and data are protected vs. vendor lock-in.
