Robin.io:
Edge has taken the front seat with the rising demand for new applications. While consumers want high availability and low latency for real-time experiences, enterprises and telecom operators need to focus on improving local processing for resilient and secure operations. They need to deploy complex storage and network-intensive apps to edge clusters. Software management, thus, has become intricate, posing a severe problem for enterprises and telecom operators. Identifying this gap almost a decade ago, Mr. Partha Seetala formed Robin.io, a hyper-converged cloud-native Kubernetes platform deployed at scale and running some of the complex data-and-network-intensive applications for large enterprises & service providers.
Inception
Under the dynamic leadership of Mr. Seetala, Robin.io could make rapid strides in the market by abstracting the complexity of provisioning a wide variety of modern infrastructure on demand and driving everything from the point of view of applications. Robin.io specializes in solving challenges such as automated deployment, scaling, and lifecycle management of enterprise, edge, and telco applications through cloud-native technologies powered by Kubernetes.
What does Robin.io do?
Robin.io has built an award-winning, industry leading hyper-converged platform that accelerates easy deployment and lifecycle management of various data-and-network-intensive workloads. Robin.io aids in the simplification of data protection and management of entire pipelines of applications by protecting and making them resilient to infrastructure failures.
Robin.io empowers the world’s leading enterprises and service providers to put the power of application automation into the hands of the experts building, deploying, and managing the life cycle of the applications. Robin.io’s Kubernetes framework provides all the essential features that help organizations roll out business- and mission-critical applications at high speed. These features include intelligent placement of workloads, auto-scheduling, self-healing, auto rollout, rollbacks, and disaster recovery, among others.
Recently, Robin.io was acquired by Rakuten Symphony, catapulting its team and products to form the foundational layer of the Unified Cloud Business Unit of Rakuten Symphony Inc.
Why Robin.io?
As organizations work towards rolling out business-critical applications on quick timelines, Robin.io caters to their needs of automation, management, and monetization of these applications in a simplified manner. One of the key reasons prospects prefer Robin.io over others is their notable involvement in edge projects with mobile operators.
Robin.io reduces the number of cloud platforms that enterprises or telecom operators need at the edge, running both VMs and containers, which enables scalable automation of rollout, upgrade and auto-heal apps at edge locations.
According to the Robin.io team, open architecture in edge applications will expand and evolve superfast to deliver more value to organizations. Hence, this approach aids operators in maintaining agility and adds new enterprise applications and services on the go, resulting in accelerated top-line revenue growth. Robin.io’s automation and orchestration software for edge infrastructure configuration and application lifecycle management is bridging a massive gap in the market today, thereby contributing to the market growth.
Leadership at Robin.io
Mr. Partha Seetala, President, Unified Cloud BU, Rakuten Symphony (formerly Founder and CEO at Robin.io), has more than 20 years of technology and product vision and expertise within this industry. With experience comes vision and wisdom, which Mr. Seetala leveraged significantly during the inception of Robin.io and continues to do so as Robin.io keeps on growing. He has taken multiple fully-featured products from concept to market. Further, he has also conceived, designed, and built products inscale-out distributed storage, file Systems, networking, distributed systems, big data, information analytics, and containers/Kubernetes space. This elaborate and diverse experience has compounded and contributed to the fast-paced growth and success we see at Robin.io.
Notable Achievements
Robin.io has been a pioneer in its industry and continues to lead the way for more market leaders to follow through with innovation and technology.
