Robin.io With Storage and Data Management Solution

Robin.io announced that its Cloud Native Storage has qualified as a Google Cloud Anthos Ready storage solution for the Anthos on bare metal deployment option of Anthos. Anthos is Google Cloud’s application modernization platform for multi-cloud environments.

Anthos on bare metal, which was made available by Google Cloud more recently, is a deployment option to run Anthos on physical servers, deployed on customer-owned infrastructure, without a hypervisor layer. It provides built-in networking, lifecycle management, diagnostics, health checks, logging and monitoring. It supports CentOS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Ubuntu. With Anthos on bare metal, enterprises can use their own standard hardware and OS images, taking advantage of existing investments.

“We’re proud to launch Anthos on bare metal to bring customers greater choice and control when it comes to running business-critical applications,” said Rayn Veerubhotla, director, partner engineering, Google Cloud. “Robin Cloud Native Storage provides customers with a qualified storage solution for Anthos, extending the convenience and capabilities of a cloud-native solution to customers’ private cloud environments.”

As an Anthos Ready Storage solution, Cloud Native Storage has met Google Cloud’s qualification requirements to work with Anthos to meet the infrastructure and application development needs of enterprise customers. The Anthos Ready Storage qualification ensures interoperability between Anthos and Robin Cloud Native Storage.

Robin Cloud Native Storage is available on the Google Cloud Marketplace.

Cloud Native Storage is a purpose-built, container-native storage solution that brings advanced data management capabilities to Kubernetes. It is a block storage solution with bare metal performance that seamlessly integrates with CSI and Kubernetes-native administrative tooling such as Kubectl, Helm Charts and Operators through standard APIs.

Key capabilities of Cloud Native Storage include:

• Bare metal storage performance with HA
• Application-consistent snapshots to recover easily from user errors
• Application-consistent backups to recover easily from system failures
• Thin clones to collaborate faster across teams
• Multi-cloud portability to easily migrate entire applications across clouds
