Predictable Performance for Business-Critical Applications on Microsoft Azure

Run Oracle, SQL Server, and other mission-critical applications on Azure with predictable performance, controlled cost, and confidence at scale

Azure Flexibility Meets Production Reality

Azure provides flexible infrastructure, but application performance can become unpredictable as workloads scale and share resources. Teams often compensate by oversizing VMs and premium disks, tuning infrastructure, and provisioning for peak demand.

Silk decouples performance from infrastructure sizing, dynamically delivering consistent latency, throughput, and IOPS as demand changes. Business-critical applications can scale on Azure without constant resizing or performance firefighting.

What This Enables on Azure

Rapid
Predictable Performance

Maintain consistent latency and throughput as workloads and concurrency grow.

LowCost
Control Cloud Costs

Right-size VMs and storage without sacrificing performance or SLAs.

Integrate
Access Live Data Faster

Give analytics, Dev/Test, and AI teams access to production data without creating full copies or disrupting applications.

Cog
Simplify Operations
Reduce constant tuning, resizing, and reactive performance management.
Azure

Built for Azure Architecture

Silk works within existing Azure environments, including Virtual Machines, VM Scale Sets, Managed Disks, Virtual Networks, and Availability Zones - without requiring application changes.
