announced it has partnered with Rakuten Mobile, Inc. 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 system
- Ensure data availability, performance and security
- Enable infinite, on-demand scalability
- Deploy and expand infrastructure and services quickly

needs," said Tareq Amin, Representative Director, Executive Vice
President and CTO of Rakuten Mobile. "Zadara has a strong track record
providing storage solutions with impressive scalability, performance and
uptime that are tailored for Rakuten Mobile's cloud-native virtualized
architecture."
"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," said Nelson Nahum, CEO, and founder
of Zadara. "No matter the data type, protocol, or location, we are
committed to offering storage solutions for our customers' most
ambitious, urgent and complex initiatives."
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.
