Rakuten Cloud-Native Platform for enterprises

Highly automated deployment and lifecycle management of stateful applications and data.

Optimized platform for running network and storage intensive workloads

Successful enterprise edge solutions must address the complexities of lifecycle management, efficient resource utilization, operational silos, and scalability. If implemented properly, these aspects will reduce operating costs and deployment timelines.

The Rakuten Cloud-Native Platform directly addresses these needs by combining automated and one-click application onboarding with declarative, context-aware workload and storage placement. This enables automated allocation of resources as they start, stop, migrate, and heal. Furthermore, our plug-and-play Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) aware resource modeling and auto-discovery streamline deployment. There is never any hunting or hard-coding involved.

Combining this with the platform’s unique application-aware storage and carrier-grade networking accelerates deployment timelines, reduces operational complexity, and eliminates operational silos.

Effortless automation for optimal operations

Enhanced automation

Resource auto-discovery, intent-based policy modeling, and advanced placement algorithms eliminate the need to hunt for resources and hardcode them.

Efficient resource management, agile ecosystem

Integrated application-aware software-defined storage (SDS)

Industry-leading cloud-native SDS solution comes embedded within the platform at no additional cost and deploys automatically with the platform.

Empowers developers, DBAs, data scientists

Edge optimized

Ultra-low footprint platform with built-in data optimization, including compression, differential backups, and thin clones, while retaining full functionality and observability.

Container-VM harmonization

Uniquely eliminates resource and operational silos.

Why customers choose Rakuten Cloud-Native Platform

Get absolute freedom from vendors’ containerization roadmap and CNF/VNF silos

Flexible networking for
any configuration

Low footprint edge, while retaining all of its functionality and observability.

Advanced Day-2 automation

Reduces time to outcome, with policy-driven automation that reduces the number integration touchpoints and lifecycle management procedures.

Container VM Harmonization

Efficiently share (or pin resources) using “the same” operational procedures and policies, not two different command-sets using different underlying mechanisms.

Works
