Rakuten Symphony forged a partnership to integrate its software into India-based Polystack Technologies’ infrastructure platform to offer locally developed cloud systems for the public and private sectors in the country.

In a statement, Partha Seetala, president of Rakuten Symphony’s cloud business, noted as demand for cloud and edge data centres continues to grow across the country, systems that are built in India and keep data there are essential.

The platforms are designed to manage distributed AI workloads, modernise legacy IT environments and deliver localised support across key industries, including defence, healthcare, finance and manufacturing, the statement added.

Polystack co-founder and CEO Pawan Verma said with Rakuten Symphony’s software, it can enable public and private organisations to “securely adopt next-generation cloud and AI technologies, with solutions built and supported in India”.

Its made-in-India cloud infrastructure platforms supported by Rakuten Cloud software include IronCore, a full-stack, cloud-native platform optimised for hybrid, private and public cloud environments.

Rakuten Symphony was set up to export Rakuten Mobile’s software-based model to markets outside Japan.
