Sudhanshu Jain VP of Product Management and Strategic Alliances, Pliops

Pliops Ltd announced that Sudhanshu Jain has been appointed VP of product management and strategic alliances.

In this role, he will lead product strategy and roadmap – and forge deeper relationships with key ecosystem partners to drive further innovation for customers.                        

A seasoned product management and engineering leader with experience in software-defined infrastructure and cloud deployment, he comes after nearly a decade at VMware. During his tenure there, he led product management for VMware’s Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) solutions and converged infrastructure. Prior to VMware, he held leadership positions at companies including Alcatel-Lucent and Aruba Networks.

The addition of Jain comes at a pivotal time as in mid-2021, the company commercially launched its Extreme Data Processor (XDP), effectively setting a new benchmark for data center scaling and efficiency.

Jain commented: “We live in a time of an unprecedented surge in data, and organizations increasingly rely on computing and storage innovation to put that data to use. The XDP and its data virtualization engine change the status quo and bring order of magnitude benefits to customers. I am looking forward to working with our incredibly talented team to execute our strategic product roadmap and further drive Pliops innovation and reach.”

“Sudhanshu’s track record in defining and taking disruptive technologies to market and building strong strategic partnerships is exceptional,” said Steve Fingerhut, president and chief business officer. “We have a robust product roadmap, with plans to scale our technology into new use cases and grow our product line. Sudhanshu will play a key role in those efforts.”
