Demo: Why Are You Overprovisioning Storage Just to Get the Performance

Picture this: you need 100K IOPS for your mission-critical workloads. But in the cloud, performance is tied to capacity. That means if your application needs 100K IOPS, you’re often forced to provision far more storage than you actually use. The result? Overprovisioned volumes, inflated cloud bills, and architectures that are optimized for vendor performance constraints instead of workload needs. Is your stress going through the roof yet? In this live 20-minute demo, Skip Marsh, Principal Solutions Architect at Silk, will show how to break the IOPS-capacity dependency across AWS, Azure, and Google. You'll see: • A live architecture walkthrough of Silk’s software-defined SAN • How to deliver high, predictable IOPS without overprovisioning storage • Real customer examples of Oracle and SQL Server in production • Side-by-side performance comparisons of native cloud storage vs optimized architectures • Open Q&A: Bring your toughest cloud infrastructure challenges If you’re responsible for cloud performance, cost control, or mission-critical databases, this session will show you a more efficient way to architect for both.
