Robin.io has announced the immediate availability of Robin Express, a full-featured, free-for-life edition, in addition to a major update to Robin Cloud Native Storage for Kubernetes.

Robin Express complements the company’s enterprise-focused offering, Robin Enterprise, which offers 24×7 enterprise support, unlimited node and storage capacity, and true “per-node-hour,” consumption-based pricing.

Robin Cloud Native Storage is a purpose-built, container-native storage solution that brings advanced data management capabilities to Kubernetes.

It is a CSI-compliant block storage solution with bare-metal performance that integrates with Kubernetes-native administrative tooling such as Kubectl, Helm Charts, and Operators through standard APIs.

Robin Cloud Native Storage recently added multi-cloud portability for complex stateful applications.

It offers bare-metal storage performance with high availability, application-consistent snapshots to recover easily from user errors, and application-consistent backups to recover easily from system failures.

Robin Cloud Native Storage also features thin clones to collaborate faster across teams and multicloud portability to easily migrate entire applications across clouds.
