MinIO received the 2026 Databricks ISV Storage Partner of the Year award at the Data + AI Summit. The recognition centered on how the companies’ work supported hybrid AI and analytics access to governed data in place.

Databricks and MinIO focused on cloud-scale analytics and AI for on-premises enterprise data that could not move due to regulations, latency, or scale, or that required costly replication or synchronization pipelines. The collaboration described a zero-copy approach intended to support live querying of system-of-record data while keeping governance controls.

MinIO’s approach combined AIStor Table Sharing and native OpenSharing integration with Databricks. The companies described embedding OpenSharing directly into the storage layer to support querying live, governed datasets without moving data, and to remove the need for gateways, replication services, and duplicate storage infrastructure.

Joint efforts also targeted hybrid data environments with real-time access to operational, manufacturing, IoT, financial, and regulated datasets that remained siloed on-premises. Garima Kapoor, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, MinIO, said, “The most valuable enterprise data is often the least portable because it's regulated, operational, and real-time. That's exactly the data that MinIO and Databricks unlock together, meeting it where it lives through a unified data layer where structured and unstructured data are governed, queryable, and actionable through a single interface, delivered via OpenSharing without replication, without gateways, without compromise,” said Garima Kapoor, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, MinIO. Stephen Orban, SVP, Product Ecosystem & Partnerships at Databricks, said, “As a key Databricks partner, MinIO helps our joint customers do exactly that. We’re proud to recognize them as 2026 Databricks ISV Storage Partner of the Year.”

One example cited involved a Fortune 500 semiconductor manufacturer that used MinIO AIStor Table Sharing with Databricks to eliminate replicate steps, enabling Databricks to query on-premises data directly and the release reported results including access latency from hours to near real time.
