Own Your S3 Object Storage
— Without Cloud Lock-In
MinIO-powered shared and dedicated storage on bare metal. Predictable pricing, zero egress fees, and infrastructure you control.
What is Object Storage?
Object storage lets you store and retrieve unlimited unstructured data — files, backups, images, ML training sets — over the standard S3 API. Bit Refinery runs MinIO, the industry's highest-performance object store, on bare metal so you get dedicated throughput without cloud markup. Choose shared clusters for cost-effective general use, or single-tenant deployments for workloads that demand isolation.
Our Services
End-to-end object storage solutions from provisioning through ongoing operations.
Shared Object Storage
Start storing data in minutes on our managed MinIO clusters. Per-tenant isolation keeps your buckets private while shared infrastructure keeps costs low.
- S3 API — works with existing tools and SDKs
- Tenant-isolated buckets with configurable retention
- Ideal for backups, media assets, and app data
- Scale capacity on demand, pay a flat monthly rate
Dedicated Object Storage
Your own MinIO deployment on dedicated bare metal. No virtualization overhead, no noisy neighbors — just consistent, predictable throughput.
- Single-tenant bare metal — hardware is yours alone
- Custom erasure coding and replication profiles
- Full admin console and IAM control
- Dedicated network bandwidth for large-scale ingest
Migration & Onboarding
Move from AWS S3, Azure Blob, or GCS with minimal downtime and zero re-architecture.
Seamless migration from any major cloud provider with tool-assisted data transfer and validation.
- Tool-assisted bulk data transfer
- Bucket policy and IAM mapping
- Parallel validation and integrity checks
- Cutover planning with rollback safety net
24/7 Monitoring & Support
Talk to storage engineers, not a help desk. Our team monitors your clusters around the clock and resolves issues before they become outages.
- Real-time health dashboards and alerting
- Proactive capacity and performance reviews
- Backup verification and disaster-recovery drills
- Direct access to senior storage engineers
Why MinIO?
The world's fastest object store, built for private cloud and bare metal.
S3 Compatible
Drop-in AWS S3 API compatibility. Your existing applications, SDKs, and CLI tools work without code changes.
Built for Throughput
Designed to saturate NVMe drives and high-speed networks. MinIO consistently leads independent S3-compatibility benchmarks for both read and write throughput.
Enterprise Security
Server-side encryption (SSE-S3/SSE-KMS), immutable object locking (WORM), versioning, and fine-grained IAM policies.
Zero Egress Fees
Download as much as you store — no per-GB transfer charges, no bandwidth metering, no surprise line items.
