Field posts
Built for the next generation of object storage
RustFS combines Rust-native engineering, Apache 2.0 licensing, and S3 compatibility for AI infrastructure and direct MinIO migrations.
AI infrastructure
rdma+dpuNVIDIA Inception Program
RustFS has joined the NVIDIA Inception Program. We are accelerating the future of AI data center storage. By leveraging NVIDIA’s cutting-edge platform, RustFS is pioneering native RDMA support and offloading Erasure Coding and data encryption directly to next-generation DPUs for unparalleled performance.
S3 Migration
Migration path
minio swapDrop-in Replacement for MinIO
Migrate instantly without data moving headaches. RustFS supports seamless, in-place migration from MinIO by simply swapping the binary or container image, drastically reducing your migration overhead and engineering costs.
