Cloud Cost Control With Predictable Performance
Silk reduces cloud overspend by decoupling performance from capacity so you can meet SLAs without overbuilding infrastructure
Performance Variability Drives Overspend
Cloud overspend often comes from protecting SLAs. When performance is unpredictable, teams compensate with oversized compute, premium storage tiers, excess licensing, and duplicated environments.
Silk decouples performance from capacity so infrastructure can be sized for actual demand - not worst-case performance scenarios.a
Understand and Optimize Your Cloud Costs
-
Buy Storage for Capacity
Silk separates performance from storage size and tiering, so organizations can purchase storage for capacity needs instead of peak throughput.
-
Reduce Application Licensing Costs
Avoid adding application cores simply to overcome I/O bottlenecks. Silk helps licensing align more closely with actual workload demand.
-
Increase Infrastructure Utilization
Silk enables applications to safely share infrastructure, reducing isolated environments, stranded resources, and excess capacity.
-
Reduce Copy-Driven Storage Costs
Space-efficient snapshots and thin provisioning limit unnecessary data duplication and help control long-term storage consumption.
-
Control Costs as Workloads Scale
As AI, analytics, and transactional workloads grow, Silk helps infrastructure costs scale with business demand rather than defensive overprovisioning.
