Storage startup Pliops aims to boost flash performance
With backing from Nvidia and Intel, startup Pliops is working to make data-center storage more efficient.
Rivals Intel and Nvidia are on the same side when it comes to the funding of a startup that promises to make flash storage orders of magnitude faster.
The two are among numerous investors in Pliops, which is developing a specialized storage processor that it says allows applications to access data kept in flash storage up to 100 times faster than with traditional approaches while using a fraction of the electricity required by traditional hardware.
