- MinIO also supports expansion of existing clusters in server pools. Each pool is a self contained entity with same SLA's (read/write quorum) for each object as original cluster. By using the existing namespace for lookup validation MinIO ensures conflicting objects are not created. When no such object exists then MinIO simply uses the least used pool to place new objects.

### There are no limits on how many server pools can be combined
