FMS 2020 Pliops Technical Session: Storage Processors Accelerate Data Workloads

Storage processors offload legacy software to high-performance hardware. Legacy storage stacks waste flash capacity and performance, forcing users to deploy expensive, overprovisioned SSDs. For example, high write amplification limits low-cost technologies such as QLC and PLC to low performance applications. Storage processors add value for many data-intensive applications, including basic block storage benchmarks as well as database applications. An important point is that they work with industry-standard SSDs.
