Robin Systems announces PDF Solutions selects Robin Cloud Platform for its IC design and manufacturing Big Data Analytics Platform   

Robin’s Application Defined Infrastructure solution enables PDF Solutions to simplify and optimize the distribution and consumption of its Analytics Suite


SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Robin Systems, the only container-based Application-Defined Infrastructure (ADI) software provider, today announced that it has added PDF Solutions (NASDAQ:PDFS) to its growing customer base. Robin Cloud Platform was the only container solution that could support all complex Big-Data pipelines and components as Spark, Cassandra as well as Oracle – all key components for PDF Solution’s analytics platform. Robin Cloud Platform will allow PDF solutions to replace manual workflows with an automated 1-click setup that enables higher productivity.

“Many customers implementing Big Data Pipelines like PDF Solutions find that these are not easily “containerized” since they have many complex cross-wired services with tight interdependencies that do not follow the classic Docker micro-service philosophy,” said Premal Buch, CEO of Robin Systems.
“PDF Solutions has picked Robin because we have implemented unique features in the networking, application fabric and storage layers that not only provide for a coherent solution, but also significantly simplify lifecycle management (deploy, manage, consolidate) - enabling the widest support for Enterprise Data Applications in the market today.”

Robin Cloud Platform is a container-based pure software solution that sits between the application and the infrastructure and enables 1-click application workflows for the user by letting the applications auto-configure storage, compute and networking across on-premise and cloud-based environments. It has REST APIs and hooks to interface with the rest of the ecosystem and requires no changes to the applications.

Enterprise applications designed for a specific on-premise or a specific cloud deployment can be hard to port since there is a strong dependency between application workflows and infrastructure. Compute, network and storage APIs vary dramatically across on-premise and infrastructure stacks of various clouds. Robin’s application aware compute, network and storage layers decouple applications and infrastructure so that the applications can be easily moved around and the infrastructure can be anywhere – on-premises or in the cloud. Robin lets you 1-Click extend or migrate entire application clusters across these boundaries, for any app – modern or legacy applications.

Robin also offers a free and full-featured Community Edition (CE) of its Cloud Platform for Big-Data, NoSQL & Enterprise Databases. You can simply download your free copy with up to 5 nodes.
