– ISRAEL, Ramat Gan – Pliops, the technology innovator, today announced the appointment of Eyal Waldman to its board of directors.
As one of Israel’s leading tech entrepreneurs with expertise in revolutionizing data center infrastructure across networking, compute, and storage, Eyal Waldman is the founder and former CEO of Mellanox Technologies (acquired earlier this year by NVIDIA for $7 billion).
“I am excited to have Eyal join our board,” said founder and CEO, Uri Beitler. “Eyal’s vast experience and deep product and market understanding is a significant addition that will support our vision of building a global solution for enabling unprecedented scalability in data centers.”
The addition of Waldman to the board signals that the company is ramping up its resources as it moves into its next stage with the commercial availability of its Storage Processor in Q1 2021.
Waldman will help guide the strategy and scale the company’s technology into new use cases. Waldman is uniquely qualified to guide Pliops’ next phase. As CEO of Mellanox, Waldman led the company to build the world’s fastest interconnect solutions, which changed the way companies build their data centers. Pliops’ technology is also set to revolutionize the way data and storage are managed in the data center.
“Pliops is tackling the most challenging issues that are vexing data center architects – namely, the colliding trends of explosive data growth stored on fast flash media, ultimately limited by constrained compute resources,” said Waldman. “I look forward to working with the Pliops team as they bring their technology to customers and partners.”
