Enterprise workloads demand consistent, low-latency access to live production data — and traditional cloud storage wasn’t built to deliver it at scale. As data volumes and concurrency grow, performance becomes unpredictable and costs spiral out of control. Silk places high-performance storage next to compute, giving every workload — from mission-critical databases and real-time analytics to AI — fast, reliable access to fresh data, without overprovisioning or runaway cloud spend.

AI models run directly on production data — without copying data, isolating applications, or degrading performance.
AI Inference
Consistently meet performance targets as demand and concurrency increase - without isolating or overprovisioning.
Predictable Performance
Analytics, Dev/Test/UAT teams access current production data instantly, without duplication or impact to operational applications.
Simplified Data Management
Recover from ransomware or data loss quickly, without slowing production or relying on complex restore workflows.
