The company’s Storage Processor enables cloud and enterprise customers to offload and accelerate data-intensive workloads using just a fraction of the computational load and power consumption. Live demonstrations of the Storage Processor accelerating MySQL was taken place in partner booths (Xilinx, Inc., and Western Digital Corp.) on the show floor.

Focused on making databases run faster and efficiently, the firm has created an architecture that overcomes the major inefficiencies of software-only storage engines via a dedicated hardware product. The solution solves the scalability challenges raised by the cloud data explosion and the increasing data requirements of AI and ML applications. The company is on a mission to enable the accelerated data center, and is joined in pursuing this vision by investors Softbank Ventures Asia, Intel Capital, Western Digital, Xilinx, and Mellanox Technologies, Ltd.

Accelerated data centers, where dedicated hardware engines will run data-intensive workloads, are the best long-term solution to the problems caused by skyrocketing data volumes and slowing compute performance growth,” noted Steve Fingerhut, president and chief business officer, Pliops. “While the industry attempts to address this challenge by adapting existing technologies, we’re taking an entirely different approach. We started with a clean slate and created a new architecture and data structure that redefines the storage primitive – and enables a whole new world of compute.
