Henri Richard Advisors’ Board, Robin.io

Already at board of Pliops, Data Dynamics and Excelero

Plio:s RichardRobin.io announced the addition of Henri Richard to the company’s board of advisors.

 

 

The company provides cloud-native capabilities that help with automating deployment, scaling and lifecycle management of enterprise and 5G applications on Kubernetes.

Richard is former EVP of NetApp‘s WW field and customer operations and played an instrumental role in firm’s turnaround. Before that he was SVP of WW sales and support at SanDisk. During his 40-year global sales career, he held executive level sales positions spanning hardware, software and services at numerous IT companies such as AMD, IBM, Seagate and Conner Peripherals.

He is now applying his knowledge and experience as a CEO advisor, board member, advisory board member and public speaker. He recently joined Gartner as an executive partner in its Global CSO practice.

Stateful applications need a cloud-native storage solution, and that’s what Robin CNS delivers. However, clearly communicating this need to enterprises can be a challenge. We’re looking forward to Henri’s depth of enterprise storage experience on the Robin.io advisory board, as we accelerate our sales, marketing and partnership efforts to the enterprise around Robin Cloud Native Storage,” said Partha Seetala, founder, CEO and CTO.

Robin.io recently announced enhancements to its Cloud Native Storage for Kubernetes and the availability of its Express, a full-featured, free-for-life edition.

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 seamlessly integrates with Kubernetes-native administrative tooling such as Kubectl, Helm Charts, and Operators through standard APIs.

Since July, firm’s Cloud Native Storage has added multi-cloud portability for complex stateful applications, launched on RedHat OpenShift Marketplace, was named IDC Innovator for containerized storage, and was recognized in the GigaOm Radar for Kubernetes storage as a leader and outperformer.
