Rakuten Mobile, a Rakuten Group company responsible for mobile communications, has selected ROBIN.io to enable the former’s end-to-end cloud-native network.

As part of the tie-up, Robin platform will help Rakuten in automating deployment, scaling and lifecycle management that accelerate service delivery, improving the end-user experience, and also reducing infrastructure and operational costs of telco and service delivery applications.

The platform is said to help Rakuten create a cloud-native deployment model that is optimized with Robin’s application-aware storage and carrier-grade networking.

For the uninitiated, Robin.io’s patent-protected technology is built upon Kubernetes and powers the platform for IT transformation used by global customers such as USAA, SAP, Sabre, BNP Paribas and Palo Alto Networks.
