Robin.io

Robin.io

Robin.IO is an IT infrastructure software vendor selling the world’s first container-based cloud infrastructure software optimized for modern data stack applications (apps) and relational databases. Robin’s App-Defined Infrastructure (ADI) addresses two of the biggest pain points in enterprise IT today – the “VMWare tax” for hypervisor-based virtualization and the “Oracle tax” for relational database – by eliminating the hypervisor completely and supporting both stateless and stateful apps.
