Robin.io and Vexata Join Forces to Help Enterprises Modernize their Data Infrastructure

SAN JOSE, Calif., August 23, 2019 – Robin.io and Vexata, part of StorCentric family of brands, announced a partnership to provide a joint technology solution. This offering will provide powerful storage and data management capabilities to modernize enterprise applications. The first of a full line of joint solutions integrates ROBIN Platform, a storage and Hyperconverged Kubernetes solution with Vexata, a scalable all-flash NVMe storage solution.

A Powerful Joint Solution for Mission Critical Workloads

The Vexata Active Data Architecture with ROBIN Platform is a revolutionary enterprise solution that delivers the transformative innovation that digital business needs now. Based on its ground up ultra-low latency and high throughput architecture, Vexata brings 10X scale and performance increases to both analytics and OLTP workloads. The embedded ROBIN Platform extends Kubernetes with built-in storage, networking, and application management to deliver a production-ready solution for Oracle databases and its ecosystem of applications such as WebLogic Server, Oracle RAC, EBS, etc. ROBIN automates the provisioning and management of Oracle databases so that you can deliver an “as-a-service” experience with 1-click simplicity to developers, DBAs, and BI teams. Vexata with ROBIN accelerates the full range of Oracle workloads including OLTP and DW/OLAP, random and sequential, ingest and backup/recovery by 10X compared to today’s leading all-flash arrays. Using the joint Vexata and ROBIN solution, customers can provision databases in minutes, scale on demand and reduce costs.

“We’re excited to work with Vexata, expanding our ability to bring enterprises full-scale, application-centric solutions for storage and advanced data management,” said Partha Seetala, Founder and CTO of Robin.io. “Together, Robin.io and Vexata will give enterprises a line of comprehensive solutions to modernize their data-heavy, existing applications with Kubernetes and cloud-native capabilities.”

“We’re very pleased to partner with Robin.io, enhancing our ability to give Vexata customers and partners solutions for modernizing existing enterprise applications, improving performance and pushing innovation,” said Surya Varanasi, CTO, StorCentric. Providing a joint solution just makes sense. “We’re looking forward to a long relationship with Robin.io.”

Robin.io plans to soon roll-out a joint solution with ROBIN Platform and Nexsan, also part of the StorCentric family, which offers unified storage, block storage and secure archiving.

This and future joint ROBIN and StorCentric solutions will bring powerful enhanced data storage, performance and advanced management capabilities to a wide range of data-intensive verticals including finance, healthcare and media as well as StorCentric’s strong community of over 1,000 partners.

The Vexata and Nexsan products will be showcased at VMworld from August 25th-29th, 2019 at the Nexsan booth #462 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California.
