Robin.io announced
the availability of the pay-as-you-go pricing model for Robin Cloud
Native Storage (CNS) on Red Hat Marketplace. Robin.io customers can now
pay for hourly usage of Robin CNS when purchased on Red Hat Marketplace,
giving them the flexibility to tie their project budgeting to
consumption, rather than commit to fixed pricing up front.
Red Hat Marketplace
is an open cloud marketplace that makes it easier to discover and
access certified software for container-based environments across the
hybrid cloud. Customers can find software solutions that have been
tested and certified for Red Hat OpenShift and deploy with improved
confidence.
Robin CNS is available on Red Hat Marketplace, here: https://marketplace.redhat.com/en-us/products/robin-storage/pricing
Robin
CNS is a purpose-built, container-native storage solution designed to
bring advanced data management capabilities to OpenShift. It is a high
performance storage solution that installs natively on OpenShift and
provides block and file storage for databases, data analytics, and AI/ML
applications. Robin CNS was engineered to simplify storage and data
management to enable developers to manage stateful applications.
"The
flexibility to pay for hourly consumption of Robin CNS provides Red Hat
Marketplace customers the ability to quickly deploy our
industry-leading storage solution for ephemeral workloads." said Ankur
Desai, director of product, Robin.io, "Customers can now pay only for
the hourly usage of Robin CNS when they run ephemeral workloads such as
ETL processing, AI/ML data preprocessing and ad-hoc data analysis on Red
Hat OpenShift. This process can help our users with flexible licensing
terms that can reduce costs and encourage experimentation with new
features and innovation."
"With
partners like Robin.io, we're evolving Red Hat Marketplace to meet the
needs of our customers," said Kelly Hartman, vice president, ecosystem
and business development, IBM Cloud and Cognitive Software. "We launched
the pay-as-you-go pricing model on Red Hat Marketplace to allow the
developer community to tap into the benefits of Red Hat OpenShift in a
cost-efficient way."
