Sterlite, Robin.io to provide tech for 5G stack for enterprise

Robin.io will provide the cloud-native platform for deploying applications and network functions on the STL Enterprise Marketplace platform.

Robin.io, a Kubernetes data management platform, will collaborate with Sterlite Technologies to offer Xaas solution for
enterprise applications and 5G services effectively.

"Built on the foundation of cloud-native, zero-touch automation and open architectures, the integrated marketplace solution will enable CSPs to deliver new revenue models and accelerate customer onboarding while keeping service delivery costs in check," said Partha Seetala, founder and CEO of Robin.io.

There is a growing trend among the Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to become an enterprise platform provider to leverage the massive opportunities it provides.

STL Enterprise Marketplace is a new-age, platform-based model that simplifies collaboration and has the potential to open up multi-sided marketplace opportunities. STL offers end-to-end software solutions for creating new-age digital services, building new business models, and opening new revenue streams.

The Platform brings together service providers, partners and enterprise customers from different verticals on the same Platform. Robin CNP provides storage, network management and scheduling to run complex network workloads from application vendors and partners across a wide spectrum of use cases.

Commenting on the collaboration, Saikat Mitra, COO of STL Network Software, said, "Extreme automation and true cloud-native platforms are key to accelerating digital transformation. In its endeavor to bring innovative XaaS
offerings faster to the market, STL has been supporting a hybrid network ecosystem with its 5G Enterprise Marketplace and 5G monetization initiatives.

In this strategic partnership, we are bringing our Enterprise Marketplace Platform enabling Robin.io to achieve seamless cloud infrastructure management for multi-datacenter, multi-cloud and multi-edge ecosystems and actualize their vision on 5G, IoT and WiFi."
