Predictable Application Performance — Without Overprovisioning

Silk decouples performance from capacity so you can meet SLAs without oversizing cloud infrastructure

Performance Variability Breaks SLAs

As cloud environments scale and workloads compete for shared infrastructure, performance becomes inconsistent. To protect applications under peak and concurrent demand, teams are forced into permanent overprovisioning – oversizing storage, adding excess compute, isolating workloads, and constantly tuning infrastructure. 

Silk eliminates the root cause: performance tied to infrastructure sizing. As a software-defined SAN and cloud acceleration layer, Silk delivers latency and throughput dynamically based on real workload demand – not volume size, tiering, or static allocation – making predictable performance the default. 

What Changes With Silk

When performance is no longer tied to capacity: 

  • Latency remains stable as environments scale 
  • Throughput holds under concurrent demand 
  • Live production data can be shared safely 
  • SLAs are achieved by design 

The Silk Performance Advantage

Decouple Performance from Capacity

Meet SLAS without oversizing storage or compute 

Stable Latency at Scale

Predictable performance even as workloads grow and environments mature. 

Shared Infrastructure, Unlimited Performance

Run multiple workloads on shared systems without tuning and firefighting. 

Live Data Safely Shared

Enable analytics and AI on production data without risky duplication. 

Architectural SLA Delivery

Performance becomes built-in by design – not achieved through overprovisioning.

Make Predictable Performance the Default

Predictable application performance does not come from buying more infrastructure. It comes from fixing how performance is delivered. Silk makes predictable performance an architectural outcome — not a workaround.
