OSNexus Announces Integration with Pliops Extreme Data Processor

by Lauren Grob

OSNexus, the leading developer of grid-scale software-defined storage, today announced integration with Pliops XDP-RAIDplus PCIe storage controllers with the release of QuantaStor 6.1.

Pliops XDP-RAIDplus is a best-in-class data protection service for enterprise SSD environments, including NVMe and NVME-oF environments, and overcomes the limitations of conventional RAID controllers while accelerating application performance, enabling higher SSD endurance and usable life, and unlocking capacity.

"We are excited to have Pliops XDP-RAIDplus Data Service support in QuantaStor 6.1," said Steven Umbehocker, CEO of OSNexus. "The Pliops XDP technology enables us to design and deploy hybrid scale-out solutions using low cost NVMe QLC flash storage with greater capacity, performance, and endurance compared to using the media directly with basic software RAID1."

Along with the use of Pliops in scale-out and scale-up QuantaStor cluster configurations, QuantaStor also makes it possible to present Pliops block devices via standard network block protocols including iSCSI, FC, and NVMe-oF TCP. This enables organizations to make use of Pliops XDP-RAIDplus storage in a broader set of application use cases including with VMs and containers.
