The mobile carrier leverages Zadara’s storage-as-a-service platform, which provides a fully managed data management solution designed for any data type, any protocol and for any cloud environment.

“We are thrilled to partner with Zadara to power our diverse storage needs,” said Tareq Amin, Representative Director, Executive Vice President and CTO of Rakuten Mobile. “Zadara has a strong track record providing storage solutions with impressive scalability, performance and uptime that are tailored for Rakuten Mobile’s cloud-native virtualized architecture.”

“The pioneers at Rakuten Mobile have re-imagined and deployed in record time the first-of-its-kind, cloud-native mobile infrastructure, and we are proud to support this achievement,” said Nelson Nahum, CEO, and founder of Zadara. “No matter the data type, protocol, or location, we are committed to offering storage solutions for our customers’ most ambitious, urgent and complex initiatives.”

Rakuten Mobile selected Zadara to offer a broad, flexible, cloud-based storage solution. Rakuten Mobile needed storage in the form of a large grid, where disk capacity would not be stranded in one storage array when it was needed for another.

In one platform, Zadara provides all three storage types and related protocols for Rakuten Mobile, including block storage (iSCSI, FC), file storage (NFS, CIFS/SMB) and object storage (S3 & Swift). With Zadara’s unique storage-as-a-service model, and native support for RESTful API and Kubernetes orchestration, Rakuten Mobile’s storage needs are fully managed by Zadara’s expert 24x7 support to reduce technology and operational risk and burdens.

Since 2011, Zadara has changed how enterprise data is stored and managed, by offering enterprise data storage as a fully managed service. With solutions available on-premises and through cloud and colocation providers, Zadara’s proprietary software, combined with its pay-only-for-what-you-use model, helps companies be more agile without sacrificing the features and functionality that enterprises demand.

Zadara operates worldwide, including hundreds of data centers at public- and private-cloud partners, with an expert team that provides services and support 24/7. Zadara is headquartered in Irvine, California with locations in London, Yokneam and Tokyo.
