How It Works

Any Application, Any Database, Any App

Your data shouldn’t be limited by where it comes from or what it’s used for. With Silk, all your data is finally equal. Silk tears down existing silos between multiple clouds and on-prem, allowing all data – no matter the type or location – to flow freely as one.

Silk Cloud Data Platform

Supercharge Your DatabasesGet More with Less

Optimize your databases in the cloud to the tiniest detail, giving them ridiculous performance and efficiency.

A. Real Time Data Reduction

Put your data on a diet. Silk slashes duplicates, cuts air gaps and then compresses whatever’s left. Oh, and it does all this automatically, constantly and in real-time

  • Mismanaged data, wasted space.

    Today, data is managed inefficiently, with tons of duplicates, wasted space and resource-intensive compression.

  • Data Deduplication

    Silk automatically detects and eliminates duplicate data.

  • Zero Elimination

    Continuously finds and removes unnecessary gaps between data.

  • Data Compression

    Constantly ensures all data is compressed efficiently.

B. Thin Provisioning

Your days of overprovisioning are over. Silk allocates your ideal cloud capacity and performance on the fly, so you get automatically perfect provisioning, and only pay for exactly what you need – no more, no less.

  • Overprovisioning and overspending.

    With today’s IaaS, cloud capacity and performance are tightly linked, which makes overprovisioning inevitable.

  • Thin provisioning for smarter spend.

    Silk provisions the exact capacity and performance you need automatically and in real-time, so you only pay for the cloud you actually use.

C. Free, Zero Footprint Clones

Data clones that are light on their feet. With Silk, data clones are free, unlimited, writable and zero-footprint, so you quickly create test environments without spending more or slowing things down.

  • Clumsy clones weighing you down.

    Today, each data clone requires making a complete data copy, which takes time, costs money and impacts performance

  • Lightweight clones, faster innovation.

    Silk enables free, unlimited, writable zero-footprint clones by copying the metadata and only storing the changes.

D. Infinitely Scalable High-Performance Data Assets

Blow past your SSD’s built-in performance. Silk handles all compute in the cloud, so you scale capacity and performance flexibly with sub-millisecond latency and restriction-free.

  • Capacity holding performance back.

    Today, performance is tied directly to SSDs, which makes scaling difficult and expensive.

  • Fast, flexible cloud-based compute.

    Silk handles all compute for SSDs, freeing cloud performance from hardware limitations – and allowing for further optimizations like real-time Adaptive Block Sizing.

Silk Capabilities

Optimize every penny

Silk Clarity uses powerful machine-learning analytics to show you exactly what you’re paying for and where you can save the most.

Orchestrate every process

Silk’s Flex Dashboard gives you complete control of every cloud detail, and makes scaling up or down as simple as drag and drop.

More About the Platform >

Relax. We got this.

Even if we could, we wouldn’t possibly have the time to constantly adjust every cloud detail on our own. Now we don’t need to. With Silk, everything is perfectly balanced automatically and in real-time. So you just kick back and try to look busy while your cloud magically optimizes itself.
