Understand and Optimize Your Cloud Costs

Get the performance you need – without excess cloud costs

With separate layers for performance and capacity, Silk eliminates the need to spend on excess capacity just to hit IOPS and throughput targets, or vice versa.

Without Silk

With Silk

Consolidate workloads for increased efficiency

Silk pools cloud resources under multiple workloads, allowing performance to be consolidated. There’s no need to separately provision for at the workload level to achieve optimal performance.

Cut Host VM Costs By Up To 77%

Silk’s platform connects with compute VMs over the higher performance compute network, not the limited-capacity data network of cloud infrastructure. This allows Silk to support the most performance-intensive workloads, while eliminating the need to oversize compute VMs by 33-100% for better data network performance. This enables Silk customers to pay 26-77% less on host VMs.

Spend Up To 29% Less On Database Licenses

Database license costs grow with the number of vCPUs in your compute VMs. By rightsizing your compute VMs down 25-50%, Silk gets rid of the need to overpay for unnecessary database licenses, cutting database license costs by up to 29%.

Access your data with ease, not additional costs

Silk creates instantaneous, zero-footprint snapshots of your mission-critical databases without requiring a fully-provisioned copy of your data. Make it easy to access copies or manage Dev/Test without redundant provisioning.
