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. Incentivized EE Eric Ellerman Infrastructure Architect Read full review	NetApp It's great to test and develop new applications. Terrific to identify new and discover networks. Excellent with cost tracking and asset management. Intuitive user interface. Incentivized George Kennedy Financial Analyst Read full review
