How Silk Helps Enterprises Reduce Cloud Costs with Microsoft Azure Laosv4 VMs

For most enterprises, the cloud promise is simple: scale faster, innovate more, and pay only for what you use. But as workloads grow – particularly AI, analytics, and database-heavy applications – cloud bills often rise faster than expected. That’s why enterprises are actively searching for ways to reduce cloud costs while still meeting their performance needs.

Microsoft’s new Azure Laosv4 Virtual Machines (VMs) are a big step forward. By delivering far greater storage capacity at the same – or even lower – cost, Laosv4 gives enterprises more room to grow without breaking their budget. And when paired with Silk, organizations can unlock even more cost savings across their Azure infrastructure.

Azure Laosv4: More Storage for Less Spend

Azure Laosv4 VMs were designed with efficiency at their core. Built on AMD EPYC ™ processors and Azure Boost SSDs, the Laosv4-series offers:

• Up to 23TB of blazing-fast NVMe storage per VM
• 50% lower cost per terabyte of storage compared to previous VM generations
• 3× higher throughput per vCPU for better efficiency per core
• Up to 20% faster compute performance for greater workload density.

For enterprises managing massive datasets, this means you can run more on fewer resources. Azure Laosv4 delivers the storage headroom you need – without the steep cost that often comes with scaling.

How Silk Helps Reduce Cloud Costs for Azure Even Further

While Azure Laosv4 provides more storage capacity at a better price point, Silk extends those savings by optimizing how data is stored, accessed, and managed across the cloud.

With Silk on Azure Laosv4 VMs, enterprises gain:

• Space-efficient database copies that slash storage requirements and licensing costs
• Consistent high performance under heavy workloads, reducing the need to overprovision compute and storage
• Built-in resilience and efficiency that cut reliance on additional (and costly) infrastructure layers
• Simpler operations that translate into lower management overhead

The result: Azure Laosv4 VMs reduce the cost of storage capacity. Silk makes sure every workload takes full advantage of that cost efficiency.

Bottom Line: Reduce Cloud Costs for Azure Without Compromise

Azure Laosv4 VMs offer enterprises a simple but powerful advantage: more storage at the same – or lower – cost. Silk complements that advantage with intelligent data management, giving enterprises even greater efficiency across their cloud environments.

For organizations asking how to reduce cloud costs in Azure without compromising performance, the answer is clear: Silk on Azure Laosv4 VMs.
