**APIs profiled:** 0

Pliant Technology, Inc. was a data-center storage company that pioneered the introduction of high-performance enterprise solid-state drives (SSDs) into mission-critical data-center environments. Backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners, the company was acquired by SanDisk in 2011 and its product line was folded into SanDisk's enterprise storage solutions. The company operated as a hardware/semiconductor storage vendor and published no public developer API, SDK, or programmatic developer surface; its former domain now redirects to SanDisk. This profile is retained in the API Evangelist network as a portfolio-lead record with no API surface to enrich.
