Silk Technology Named IP Co-Sell Incentivized Partner to Microsoft Azure

Silk Technologies Inc. is an IP co-sell incentivized partner to Azure, bringing a supercharger solution to customers’ databases and mission-critical applications in the cloud.

As a partner, not only will Silk be available to the Azure marketplace, but the 2 organizations will begin jointly selling Silk to Azure customers who need to maximize their database performance in the cloud.

Silk is a smart, resilient, and invisible layer on top of Azure that allows customers to achieve lightning-fast speeds while maximizing their database resiliency. In fact, with this platform on their Azure infrastructure, customers can see 1 million IO/s and 20GB/s for read bandwidth for mission-critical databases. This speed ensures that Azure customers are able to take advantage of their infrastructure.

With Silk, customers will be able to achieve the performance needed to run databases on Azure. For example, customers have seen up to 10x faster performance of their Oracle and SQL Server databases by using Silk on Azure while protecting their databases from any possible failure.

It offers 99.9999 resiliency and no single point of failure. And with the ability to move data between zones and regions, data are always available.

“We are thrilled to be working with Microsoft Azure to bring our high-performance platform to their customers’ databases,” said Dani Golan, CEO. “The orchestration and optimization power of Silk coupled with Azure will enable customers to achieve faster performance, far better resiliency, and more flexibility and agility.“
