Likelihood to Recommend	Silk K2 works well in our mixed-use virtual environment. I would not hesitate to place any workload on K2, it has always performed well. We use fiber-channel connectivity as it replaced our large legacy storage array, replacing one rack of spinning disks with 4U of flash.

Return on Investment	Silk Installing K2 reduced runtime of one of our batch processes, freeing up one employee for other tasks. Less time managing storage. Incentivized EE Eric Ellerman Infrastructure Architect Read full review
