A stand-alone Minio server would go down if the server hosting the disks goes offline.

For example, an 8-node distributed Minio setup, with 1 disk per node would stay put, even if upto 4 nodes are offline. But, you'll need at least 5 nodes online to create new objects.

### Limits ### Limits
As with Minio in stand-alone mode, distributed Minio has a per tenant limit of minimum 2 and maximum 32 servers. There are no limits on number of disks shared across these servers. If you need a multiple tenant setup, you can easily spin multiple Minio instances managed by orchestration tools like Kubernetes.

If you need a multiple tenant setup, you can easily spin up multiple Minio instances managed by orchestration tools like Kubernetes.
Note that with distributed Minio you can play around with the number of nodes and drives as long as the limits are adhered to. For example, you can have 2 nodes with 4 drives each, 4 nodes with 4 drives each, 8 nodes with 2 drives each, 32 servers with 24 drives each and so on.
