The Silk Platform

Silk is presented as a database supercharger that fits invisibly between cloud infrastructure and databases in order to deliver game-changing database performance without changing underlying apps or database infrastructure, whether the user is running real-time transactional workloads or analytical workloads.

Boasting always-on availability across regions, zones, and clouds, the vendor states databases keep going strong no matter what occurs in the cloud. The vendor boasts customers like Priceline, Cisco and Telefonica rely on Silk for unlimited cloud flexibility, unbreakable data resiliency, and database performance.

Beyond supporting combined manage and optimization of databases and cloud infrastructure, Silk is also presented as a solution to facilitate cloud migration, to move resources either to or across cloud services.
