Is it really S3-compatible?
Yes, for the APIs applications commonly use. It is tested with ceph/s3-tests (342 of 348 passing) and a matrix of six popular clients before release. Known differences from AWS, such as SelectObjectContent, are documented openly.
How do we migrate from a legacy S3 system (MinIO, Ceph, AWS S3)?
Our team plans and runs the migration with you from any S3-compatible system: an inventory of buckets and policies, a bulk copy with rclone or aws s3 sync (both in the tested client matrix) with checksum verification, repeated delta syncs while the old system still takes writes, then an endpoint cut-over in a window you choose.
Is any data or telemetry sent outside my data center?
No. Licenses are verified offline from a signed file. Activation through a license server is optional for internet-connected environments.
What happens when the license expires?
The cluster enters a 30-day grace period with warnings in the console. After that it becomes read-only: data is never deleted and reads are never locked.
Does Inodix use MinIO code?
No. Inodix is built from scratch (clean-room) and only uses permissively licensed dependencies: MIT, BSD, Apache-2.0, and MPL-2.0.
What hardware do I need?
For production, at least 4 nodes with several data disks (xfs recommended) and NVMe for metadata. For a trial, one node with four disks is enough. Our team sizes the hardware with you during the assessment.
Who provides support?
The Inodix team in Indonesia, in Indonesian or English. Encrypted support bundles from the console speed up diagnosis without opening access to your data.
