Case Study: Nomura modernizes risk infrastructure with MinIO AIStor

Nomura boosts risk analytics performance 13.9% with MinIO

Nomura, a global investment bank, faced challenges with its aging Hadoop-based risk infrastructure, which suffered from outages, poor visibility, and inefficiency. This created a risk of missing critical SLAs for regulatory reporting. To modernize its system, Nomura selected MinIO's AIStor product to replace its Hadoop storage layer.

By implementing MinIO AIStor, Nomura decoupled its storage and compute, creating a hybrid object-native data lakehouse. This solution delivered a 13.9% performance improvement, doubled usable storage efficiency, and reduced average processing time by four hours to improve SLA compliance. The MinIO deployment was completed in just two weeks, saving the company significant capital expenditure on new hardware.
