Personnel: Ofer Frishman, Steve Fingerhut

Steve Fingerhut, President, introduces Pliops at Storage Field Day 21. The Pliops Storage Processor accelerates storage and reduces cost for nearly any flash workload, increasing performance, expanding capacity beyond in-system drives, adding data protection, and increasing endurance. The company is backed by SoftBank, Intel, Nvidia, Western Digital, and Xilinx. With data continuing to increase, companies are realizing that simply increasing the number of servers can’t keep up. Instead, Pliops aims to accelerate storage performance to allow data processing to scale more efficiently. The Pliops Storage Processor (PSP) accelerates nearly all flash-based workloads, including NoSQL, RDBMS, Analytics, and software-defined storage.

Fingerhut discusses this application with the Storage Field Day delegates and walks them through the functions of the PSP, which provides a key/value library API and NVMe block interface with thin provisioning, compression, erasure coding, and encryption. This PCIe card can be used in any standard server combined with any SSD and direct or disaggregated storage. Block storage performance is up to 7x higher, with latency dropping by 80% in a typical 70/30 random read/write application. In a database application, the PSP delivered 8x performance per core, with a 9x increase in TPC-C queries per second and 90% reduction in query completion latency. Another database applications saw QLC flash performing twice as fast as TLC, and MongoDB saw 3x capacity increase with a 2.6x throughput increase. Pliops even made Intel Optane SSD storage faster in MySQL TPC-C.

Personnel: David Flynn

David Flynn, Founder and CEO of Hammerspace, presents the “storageless data” concept at Storage Field Day 21. He discusses data gravity, serverless compute, and how these relate to the storageless data concept. Data today exists in corporate datacenters, public clouds, and edge sites, and modern data cannot be bound to specific hardware, protocols, or locations. A storageless approach must be a global data storage manager that is multi-vendor, multi-protocol, and provides a metadata service, direct data routing, and objective-based data orchestration, and provides data universally, across different data centers and protocols.

Company: Nasuni

Personnel: Andres Rodriguez, Tom Rose

Nasuni VP of Technical Marketing Tom Rose discusses the trend of “cloud washing” products that aren’t cloud-native. Large infrastructure vendors, are trying to stay relevant in the cloud era. They are acquiring cloud companies to offer new cloud services, but in the file storage category, the challenge they face is that their technologies were not designed for the cloud. So, when they “lift-and-shift” their software and hardware into the cloud, many of the advantages the cloud offers – lower cost, simpler IT administration, unlimited capacity on-demand – are not realized. This session addresses key differentiators of being cloud-native through several customer use cases and side-by-side cost comparisons.
