DapuStor Strengthens Partnership with Pliops to Accelerate AI and Data-Centric Workloads
November 14, 2025 — DapuStor, a leading provider of enterprise SSD storage solutions, announced the expansion of its partnership with Pliops, a leader in data acceleration technology. Building on the previous collaboration, the enhanced partnership integrates DapuStor’s high-performance enterprise SSDs with Pliops’ LightningAI KV-Cache offloading solution to meet the growing performance and efficiency demands of AI and data-intensive workloads.
Early enterprise deployments of the combined solution have demonstrated significant gains in performance and operational efficiency, providing measurable value for real-world AI and data applications. As part of this collaboration, the Pliops XDP card has been successfully validated with the DapuStor Roealsen6 R6101 PCIe Gen5 enterprise SSDs, confirming strong compatibility and readiness for next-generation AI infrastructures.
To further validate performance readiness, Pliops tested its accelerated vLLM inference architecture using the LightningAI framework, benchmarking the Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct model with multi-turn scenarios. The results demonstrated full compatibility between the Pliops XDP platform and DapuStor SSDs, reinforcing the solution’s suitability for high-performance inference and data-pipeline acceleration.
“Our collaboration with Pliops is a natural fit,” said Alfred Chase Hui, VP of International Business at DapuStor. “By combining our high-performance SSDs with Pliops’ LightningAI solution, we’re delivering a powerful, efficient, and scalable platform that addresses the growing needs of enterprise AI and data applications.”
“Collaborating with DapuStor is a natural alignment as we expand the LightningAI ecosystem,” said Ido Bukspan, CEO of Pliops. “Together, we are enabling next-generation infrastructure designed to address the demands of modern AI and data-intensive workloads.”
The integration of DapuStor’s enterprise-grade SSDs and Pliops’ acceleration platform further strengthens the companies’ joint ecosystem reach. DapuStor’s strong APAC presence, combined with Pliops’ robust solution stack, accelerates deployment timelines and improves time-to-value for customers worldwide.
