LucidLink vs. Ideagen Lucidity vs. MinIO vs. maja.cloud Comparison Chart

With the rapid growth in cloud services and object storage, it became clear to the founders of LucidLink that applying old technology to a new paradigm was broken. A new system had to be created from scratch to take full advantage of cloud object storage benefits. Old technologies becoming “cloud-enabled” didn’t suffice. LucidLink was founded by two storage and file system veterans with a distinct vision to transform how cloud object storage is used. The new cloud paradigm required а modern innovative technology built for the cloud, from the ground up. LucidLink Filespaces is a cloud-native file system specifically designed for high-latency environments to increase performance, reduce data movement costs, and governance. Users can easily stream data directly from the cloud, eliminating the need to download or synchronize. LucidLink is at the forefront of cloud services and storage, offering a secure file system specifically built for modern cloud-computing environments.

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.
