Silk's Architecture Fits Your Infrastructure to Your Needs

Hack the cloud stack to get leading performance for your capacity needs

To get the most performance storage, you need to break free from traditional storage itself. Silk on VMs builds our capacity layer out of virtual machines instead of storage to get the absolute maximum throughput and IOPS from the cloud at sub-millisecond latency.

Level up cloud native managed disks to balance resilience and performance

Applications that are especially sensitive can leverage Silk on Managed Disks. Silk composes its capacity layer using cutting-edge managed disk resources such as Microsoft Azure Premium v2 disks, combining the inherent benefits of those disks with Silk’s performance layer, enterprise data services, and resilient architecture.
