Robin Systems, the pioneer in containerization enterprise software, and
Zettaset,
the leader in Big Data security, today announced a strategic
partnership that will provide organizations with a scalable,
performance-optimized, and highly secure container-based solution for
Big Data applications.
Robin's container-based,
application-aware, compute and storage platform liberates applications
from servers, VMs, and storage limitations. Robin ensures the best
possible hardware utilization with multi-tenant harmony and complete
performance isolation for each application. By leveraging lightweight
and portable container-based application packaging technology, Robin
enables seamless application mobility across machines and across clouds.
Robin is the ONLY containerization platform that works with all types
of enterprise applications, including performance-sensitive databases
and Big Data clusters.
Robin's Virtual Data Lake capability
enables organizations to consolidate data across multiple HDFS clusters
and make it available to applications in a unified manner. This helps
democratize data access and eliminates delays in provisioning or copying
data. By enabling on-demand data access, Robin helps organizations
become more agile, productive, and data-driven. However, as data is a
critical enterprise asset, it is vital to ensure security and
governance. By using Zettaset data encryption and governance capability
along with Robin Virtual Data Lake, an organization can ensure secure
sharing of data across the enterprise, empower business users, and cut
costs by eliminating data duplication.
"Robin Systems provides
enterprises with a high-performance and elastic containerization
platform for data-driven mission-critical applications, and together
with Zettaset we can now provide those same customers with an
exceptionally high level of data protection," said Premal Buch,
chief executive officer of Robin Systems. "The Zettaset Big Data
encryption suite is a great match for us because it can easily scale out
in distributed computing systems like Hadoop and NoSQL, and performs
equally well in VM deployments on premises or in the cloud."
In key global markets, cloud
usage is rapidly growing and will ultimately outstrip internally managed
systems. Lost among all the excitement about the potential of Big Data
in the cloud are the very real security and privacy challenges that
threaten to slow this momentum. Cloud computing adoption has progressed
at an unprecedented rate, while data security has raced to catch up.
"As Hadoop users migrate from
pilot to production and move into larger-scale infrastructures,
security and privacy issues are suddenly caught in the spotlight," said Jim Vogt,
Zettaset CEO. "As a data-centric enterprise security company with deep
expertise in Big Data encryption, we bring a higher level of rigor and
discipline to data protection that transforms open source environments
like Hadoop and other NoSQL into trusted data stores. Our strategic
partnership with Robin Systems reaffirms Zettaset's position as a leader
in securing sensitive data across petabyte-scale Big Data stores and
applications wherever they reside."
