Pliant Technology designs and develops Enterprise Flash Drives (EFDs). EFDs are a brand new class of ultra-high performance, solid state data storage devices that meet the needs of data centers and other high-performance computing environments. Pliant’s Lightning EFD product family is based on an advanced controller design and software architecture that delivers dramatic I/O performance and reliability improvements over existing SSD technology, and exponentially higher performance and lower energy consumption than multiple traditional high-performance hard drives and the current generation of SSDs found in enterprise computing environments. From inception, Pliant EFDs were designed to meet the growing global demand for “Green IT,” by dramatically reducing direct and indirect energy consumption, and by minimizing enterprise data storage physical space requirements. Compared to existing enterprise data storage solutions, Pliant EFDs offer significant Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) benefits in virtually any large-scale computing environment. Pliant was founded in 2006 by a team of storage industry innovators with an unparalleled track record of success. The management team includes technologists and executives from Fujitsu, IBM, Seagate, Maxtor, Quantum, and Conner.
