Zadara Storage, the leader in enterprise, software-defined storage solutions, on Monday announced it has partnered with Rakuten Mobile to offer Zadara’s universal set of storage solutions for Rakuten’s platforms and services, including the Rakuten Communications Platform.

The mobile carrier leverages Zadara’s storage-as-a-service platform, which provides a fully managed data management solution designed for any data type, any protocol and for any cloud environment.

 

Zadara’s software-defined storage platform enables Rakuten Mobile to: Simplify data management operations with the ability to store any data type – block, file, object – from a single systemEnsure data availability, performance and securityEnable infinite, on-demand scalabilityDeploy and expand infrastructure and services quickly

Rakuten Mobile selected Zadara to offer a broad, flexible, cloud-based storage solution. Rakuten Mobile needed storage in the form of a large grid, where disk capacity would not be stranded in one storage array when it was needed for another. In one platform, Zadara provides all three storage types and related protocols for Rakuten Mobile, including block storage (iSCSI, FC), file storage (NFS, CIFS/SMB) and object storage (S3 & Swift). With Zadara’s unique storage-as-a-service model, and native support for RESTful API and Kubernetes orchestration, Rakuten Mobile’s storage needs are fully managed by Zadara’s expert 24x7 support to reduce technology and operational risk and burdens.

Nelson Nahum, CEO, and founder of Zadara
The pioneers at Rakuten Mobile have re-imagined and deployed in record time the first-of-its-kind, cloud-native mobile infrastructure, and we are proud to support this achievement. No matter the data type, protocol, or location, we are committed to offering storage solutions for our customers’ most ambitious, urgent and complex initiatives.
