The Vexata Active Data Architecture with Robin Platform combines Vexata's ultra-low- latency and high-throughput NVMe flash storage with Robin.io's platform for extended Kubernetes with built-in storage, networking and application management to deliver a production-ready offering for Oracle databases and related applications including WebLogic Server, Oracle RAC and EBS. The Robin technology automates the provisioning and management of Oracle databases to let it be delivered with an "as-a-service" experience with one-click simplicity. Sunnyvale, Calif.-based StorCentric, the parent company of Vexata, said the combined offering accelerates the full range of Oracle workloads including OLTP and DW/OLAP, random and sequential data, data ingest, and backup and recovery to allow customers to provision databases in minutes, scale on demand and reduce costs.
