SymCloud

SymCloud (formerly Robin.io) provides Kubernetes-native platform solutions for modern, cloud-native applications.

The company’s main product is its Kubernetes-based application automation platform, which provides developers with a self-service platform for deploying, scaling, and managing their applications. The platform also allows IT teams to manage and orchestrate the entire lifecycle of an application, from deployment to upgrades and maintenance.

SymCloud's platform is built on open-source technologies, including Kubernetes, and is vendor-agnostic, allowing customers to run their applications on any infrastructure (on-premises, in a public cloud, or in a hybrid environment). The company also provides a suite of tools to help enterprises manage the life cycles of their applications, including monitoring, logging, and security.

SymCloud carries a patented technology for application-aware storage, which enables enterprises to optimize their storage resources based on the specific needs of each application. As per the company, this allows IT teams to allocate storage resources more efficiently and reduce costs while improving application performance.

SymCloud's sales model is primarily enterprise-focused, and it sells its products and services through direct sales and partnerships with resellers and system integrators.

In February 2023, the company was acquired by Rakuten Symphony, the telco-focused arm of Japan’s Rakuten Group.
