Pliops has kicked off its global channel program in noteworthy fashion by signing an agreement with TD SYNNEX. Under the terms of the agreement, TD SYNNEX will distribute Pliops XDP in North America. This announcement comes on the heels of the commercial launch of the XDP, which is now broadly available. Pliops XDP seamlessly manages data flow from application to storage, shaping the data for optimal placement to the lowest-cost SSDs, enabling very high performance with fully offloaded data protection and inline transparent compression. Delivered on an easy-to-deploy, low-profile PCIe card, Pliops XDP eliminates major redundancies and significantly accelerates performance, enabling data center infrastructures to scale more efficiently. Pliops XDP combines multiple fundamental data and storage technologies into one device. This approach provides multiple benefits and new levels of processing power and storage scalability for relational, NoSQL and in-memory databases, analytics, AI/ML, 5G, IoT, and other data-intensive applications and platforms. Pliops has implemented a partner assist, channel-centric go-to-market strategy and will strategically align with systems integrators and value-added resellers offering database, analytics, ML/AI, HPC and web-scale solutions, as well as cloud deployments.
