Company Overview

Simplifying complexity: Enabling application-centric operations from core to edge.

Managing modern-day distributed systems, especially at the stateful edge, introduces layers of complexity. Solving this complexity calls for innovative solutions in the storage, compute, and network infrastructure as well as a focus to the applications across the entire application lifecycle – from the planning (Day 0), to launch (Day 1) and operations (Day 2).

Mastering this complexity is key. The answer lies in automation. Automation ensures faster execution, fewer errors, and greater cost efficiency, all of which are essential to modern-day telecom operations.

Rakuten Cloud stands at the forefront of this new paradigm. As an industry-leading Cloud Native Platform, it seamlessly integrates with any infrastructure, be it bare metal or cloud, public or private. Its standout feature is having the industry’s lowest control overhead, coupled with an unmatched ability to abstract infrastructure-related concerns.
