Robin.io, the leader in Kubernetes storage and data management, recently announced enhancements to Robin Cloud Native Storage for Kubernetes and the immediate availability of Robin Express, a full-featured, free-for-life edition.
Robin Express complements the company’s enterprise-focused offering, Robin Enterprise, which offers 24×7 enterprise support, unlimited node and storage capacity, and true “per-node-hour,” consumption-based pricing.
Robin Cloud Native Storage is a purpose-built, container-native storage solution that brings advanced data management capabilities to Kubernetes. It is a CSI-compliant block storage solution with bare-metal performance that seamlessly integrates with Kubernetes-native administrative tooling such as Kubectl, Helm Charts, and Operators through standard APIs.Robin Cloud Native Storage recently added multi-cloud portability for complex stateful applications, launched on RedHat OpenShift Marketplace, was named IDC Innovator for containerized storage, and was recognized in the GigaOm Radar for Kubernetes storage as a leader and outperformer.
Popular databases and data-centric applications such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, MariaDB, Cassandra, Elasticsearch and many more are increasingly being containerized and moved to Kubernetes-managed environments, giving rise to a need for storage and data management solutions that can address the unique needs of stateful applications on Kubernetes.

Most companies give customers a scaled-back version of the product to test drive and then try to charge them when they want to try other features, or they offer a trial of the product for a limited time. Although we are limiting the capacity to 5 nodes and 5 TB, we’re not blocking any features, and we’re providing access for life.
