A stand-alone Minio server would go down if the server hosting the disks goes offline. In contrast, a distributed Minio setup with _n_ disks will have your data safe as long as _n/2_ or more disks are online. You'll need a minimum of _(n/2 + 1)_ [Quorum](https://github.com/minio/dsync#lock-process) disks to create new objects though.
For example, a 8 nodes distributed Minio setup, with 1 disk per node would stay put, even if upto 4 nodes are offline. But, you'll need atleast 5 nodes online to create new objects.

## Limitations
As with Minio in standalone mode, distributed Minio has the per tenant limit of minimum 4 and maximum 16 drives (imposed by erasure code). This helps maintain simplicity and yet remain scalable. If you need a multiple tenant setup, you can easily spin 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, and so on.

# Get started
If you're aware of stand-alone Minio set up, the process remains largely the same, as the Minio server automatically switches to standalone or distributed mode, depending on the command line parameters.
