Pliops

Pliops is an Israeli semiconductor company that developed a dedicated storage processor called the XDP (Extreme Data Processor), designed to accelerate database and storage workloads in data-center servers. The company is headquartered in Tel Aviv.

The XDP is a hardware chip that offloads intensive read/write operations — particularly those handled by storage engines such as RocksDB — away from the host CPU, increasing throughput and reducing server infrastructure requirements. The target customers are hyperscalers, telecom operators, and large-scale data-center operators looking to improve I/O performance and cut power and hardware costs. Pliops has raised funding from investors including Intel Capital.

Pliops conducts its core development activity in Israel. The company primarily hires for R&D roles spanning chip design (VLSI), systems software, and firmware development.

Detailed public information on funding rounds, valuation figures, and executive leadership is limited, so those specifics are not included here.
