Achieve the cloud promise of flexibility and scale for every workload – even your most monolithic mission-critical databases – without overprovisioning (and overpaying) and without compromising on performance. Whether your cloud serves external customers or internal stakeholders, Silk is helping leaders future-proof their cloud journeys. Silk helped them scale their cloud. Not their cost.

Unlock the Cloud Potential of Your
Mission-Critical Workloads

Significant, Sustainable Cost Savings
and The End of Overprovisioning

Break free of the “share-nothing” limitations of cloud-native infrastructure and improve your cost efficiency as you scale. Silk allows mixed workloads to seamlessly share the same platform – no need to separately provision for peak performance for each system. Use thin provisioning for on-demand capacity without paying for idle infrastructure. Silk’s patented real-time data reduction continuously minimizes your storage footprint for you.

Cloud Storage Infrastructure – Single or Multicloud

The Four Components of Silk’s Platform

Two-Tier Virtualization

Silk sits in between your cloud-hosted database and your cloud storage resources. This cloud-native optimization layer offloads data services from the host database virtual machines and accelerates performance with
the underlying storage.

Scale on demand and efficiently with Silk’s breakthrough decoupling of performance from compute and storage.
Strengthen your competitive edge using Silk. Reduce risk from global supply chain by escaping on premise hosting and leveraging cloud-native infrastructure. Avoid vendor lock-in with Silk’s multi-cloud architecture, enabling business resilience as your cloud needs evolve.
No refactoring required. Easily transport your databases to the cloud, without the risk of massive development efforts. Lift, shift, and evolve with Silk!

Enterprise Data Services

Save money as you scale. Silk’s data services continuously shrink your storage footprint, while improving performance. Deduplication, zero elimination and real-time compression shrink data by 2x to 5x – or more!
Use thin-provisioning to only pay for the cloud resources you actually use while retaining on-demand capacity.
Instantaneous, zero-footprint snapshots give you on-demand, unlimited, writeable access to the data, without performance impacts or paying for the same data multiple times.

Shared Multitenant Datastore

Improve your cloud operational efficiency with shared infrastructure. Gain the benefit of pooled resources to reduce overprovisioning.
Deploy transactional, analytical, and mixed workloads together on the same datastore to get “every penny you paid for” out of your cloud infrastructure.
Effortlessly grow as your business scales with dynamic storage reallocation.

Dynamic DB Blocksize Alignment

Let Silk algorithmically adjust blocksizes to provide integrated, multi-workload optimization
Achieve greater performance with adaptive log-structured datastore, with no database changes or additional tuning required
Accelerate any database or workload with Silk’s cloud-agnostic, workload-agnostic design.
