Pliops
CEO: Uri Beitler
Founded by flash storage industry veterans from Samsung, M-Systems and XtremIO, Pliops aims to shake up data center storage economics with a hardware accelerator.
After raising $30 million in a Series B funding round from Intel, Western Digital and Xilinx in 2019, the San Jose, Calif.-based startup announced in July that its Storage Processor had been tested by more than 10 tier-one cloud and enterprise companies and proved to boost storage performance by more than 10 times, reduce latency by up to 1,000 times and increase flash price-performance by more than 90 percent.
Use cases for the Pliops Storage Processor include application acceleration, dynamic capacity expansion, drive fail protection and extended life for SSDs.
