CyberKnight Partners with MinIO to Bring World's First Hyperscale Object Store for AI to the Region
CyberKnight announced a strategic reseller partnership with MinIO, a pioneer in high-performance object storage. As a MinIO reseller, CyberKnight will bring MinIO AIStor to companies across the region, enabling them to consolidate all their data into a single, private cloud namespace, while achieving unmatched performance, scalability, and cost efficiency. MinIO is the only storage provider solving a new class of AI-scale problems in on-premises environments. According to the IDC, the object storage market has been growing at a rate of around 17% annually in recent years. By the end of 2025, the global object storage market was projected to exceed $20 billion. In addition, Gartner has predicted that by 2026, distributed object storage deployments will have tripled over the previous four years with 60% of these deployments being hybrid cloud deployments. As enterprises accelerate AI, machine learning, big data, and analytics initiatives, they require hyperscaler-grade storage that delivers speed, flexibility, and efficiency without the high costs of public cloud services. MinIO AIStor is purpose-built to address these needs, offering high-performance object storage designed for AI-driven workloads and large-scale data environments. Unlike traditional storage solutions, AIStor is architected using the same principles as hyperscalers, delivering industry-leading performance at a fraction of the cost of public cloud alternatives. 'Our relationship with MinIO equips our partners with cutting-edge, deploy anywhere storage solutions that are fast, scalable, cost-effective and bridge the gap associated with fragmented cloud dynamics in the region including local data privacy, sovereignty and residency requirements. With unique features like multi-cloud interoperability, Kubernetes-native integration, and advanced data management capabilities, together we can optimize storage infrastructure for modern AI-driven workloads.', commented Wael Jaber, Chief Strategy Officer at CyberKnight. 'As AI-driven workloads become the backbone of modern enterprises, having a high-performance, scalable, and secure object store is critical. CyberKnight extends MinIO's enterprise-grade object storage to organizations that demand speed, resilience, and flexibility in managing vast datasets for AI and cybersecurity applications. Together, we are enabling businesses to build the future of AI with a foundation that is performant, scalable, and proven.', added Zayed Abu Alhaj, Regional Head of META at MinIO.
