An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
Silk offers a cloud data platform that provides a metadata-driven abstraction across the three main public clouds. This platform enables real-time optimization of cloud costs while also maximizing performance.
Silk sounds too good to be true: it can simultaneously optimize IOPS, throughput, and latency, while lowering the cloud bill at the same time.
The secret: Silk’s patent-pending approach to aggregating cloud resources that leverages a specially customized CentOS Linux kernel.
The results are dramatic. Databases run faster. Snapshots consume far less storage. Latency drops to unheard-of levels. All while optimizing public cloud usage, thus lowering costs.
