Silk is the leading platform for accelerating the flow of mission-critical data on the cloud. Here you will find talks on running mission-critical applications on the cloud, cloud infrastructure, cloud architecture, supporting high I/O workloads, rightsizing cloud resources, and more.

Fueled by a need for greater agility, flexibility, and accelerated digital operations, the adoption and usage of multiple public cloud providers continues to increase. At scale, however, a lack of transparency and predictability into cloud costs often hinders planning and slows down operations, especially when it comes to enterprise applications.  

In this webinar, ESG analyst, Scott Sinclair, will be chatting with the leadership of Silk on how to accelerate cost-efficient scaling of cloud workloads and how Silk’s Cloud Database Virtualization Platform can help.

Topics planned to cover:
- The impact the cost of cloud operations is having on businesses
- How to accelerate the scale of cloud operations
- Silk and its Cloud Database Virtualization Platform
- Expected and realized benefits for users

Best Practices for Cost Efficient Scaling of Mission-Critical Cloud Workloads

Snapshots are point-in-time replicas of a database used for data protection and backup, as well as for activities related to development, testing, reporting, and analytics. In this webinar, we will demonstrate Silk’s snapshot capability and discuss key use cases that can bring value to your organization. 
 
What will be covered: 
- What snapshots are and how they are used 
- Snapshot use cases and business impact, with real customer examples 
- Snapshot workflows in the cloud (and how they differ from on-prem) 
- Demos of Silk snapshots, including: 
   - How to take a snapshot 
   - How to refresh an environment for dev/test (a common use case)
   - APIs for scripting and automation (VSS, Ansible, Terraform, Powershell, etc.) 
- An example of refreshing 500 TB of data in 10 milliseconds to show the speed at which snapshots are taken and data is restored

Using Silk Snapshots: Key Uses Cases, Enabling Automation, and More

According to Gartner, 85% of today’s core IT applications were not built for the cloud. And, if you are looking to move business-critical applications to the public cloud and find refactoring is not an option, you are not alone. Seemingly “untouchable” workloads that run in on-prem data centers, are typically 5+ TB in size, and are latency-sensitive require special attention when migrating to the cloud. You might need more performance than what the public cloud can provide natively today.

In this webinar, we discuss the top 3 factors delaying cloud migration of business-critical applications: 

1.   Reaching the cloud performance your business requires
2.   Building the resilient cloud infrastructure with high availability
3.   Scaling resource capacity efficiently without overprovisioning

Learn the latest best practices to lift, shift, and modernize business-critical applications on the cloud.

Top 3 Factors Delaying Cloud Migration and How to Address Them

This 20-minute webinar brings together two Oracle and Azure gurus:
Kellyn Gorman, the foremost expert at Microsoft on bringing complex Oracle workloads into Azure. Her specialty is getting Oracle workloads off Oracle Exadata and onto Azure.
Tanel Poder, the co-author of Expert Oracle Exadata, a well-known blogger and consultant on Oracle database performance.

They discuss:
Best practices for moving Oracle workloads from on-prem to Azure
Overcoming the technical challenges of Oracle Exadata, Oracle RAC, performance, and licensing costs
The features/functionality needed to move Oracle workloads to Azure successfully

Lift, Shift and Evolve: Moving Oracle Workloads onto Azure

With interest rates rising and the economy slowing, businesses need to adapt to survive (and potentially thrive). Moving to the cloud can enable a number of benefits for an organization during an economic downturn, providing agility, resilience, and price performance value.

On this webinar, we explore the cost-efficiency for target performance, operational improvements, and growth flexibility that moving to the cloud can offer in a tumultuous economy.

Special guest speaker, Mike Fay (former Wayfair, CGI, Verizon), shares his experiences working through an imminent data center closure and the biggest challenges and benefits of moving to the cloud.

How to Navigate the Value of Cloud Adoption in Uncertain Economic Times

During Black Friday and Cyber Week, online retailers can see a 10x spike in traffic. This shopping period represents 20% of holiday sales. But website and database performance issues can cut into revenue dramatically — abandoned carts, lost sales, and a drop in customer loyalty.

Don’t let that happen!

In this webinar, we share 5 of the most pressing customer-facing issues slowing down retail websites and  impacting sales during the holidays. We talk about how retailers are under pressure to deliver the best omnichannel experiences while balancing the need for greater performance with costs.

Slow is the New Down: Is Your Database Prepared for the Holidays?

Hosting mission-critical SQL databases in the cloud is a key step in a company’s cloud transformation, yet often comes with significant sticker shock. However, it is possible to scale your cloud without scaling your cost. On this webinar, Silk’s Sr. Director of Product, David Berliner, and Principal Architect, Jack Vaughan, break down the drivers of cost in a cloud SQL setup and how to reduce waste and gain economies of scale in the cloud.

You will learn:
The elements of cloud cost analysis, including storage, compute, and licenses
How Silk eliminates over-provisioning, enables shared architecture for economies of scale, and reduces data footprint
Two case studies – the first of an online travel company saving 45% on cloud costs, and the second of a large retailer getting faster than on-prem performance at 1/3 of the cost

The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of Hosting SQL Databases in the Cloud

While many companies are adopting the cloud, there are some workloads that are considered too large, too complex, and require too much performance to make the jump. These workloads – which are often databases like Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle Database – are considered “untouchable” and are often the only thing keeping a company on-premises. In this webinar, we talk about bringing these “untouchable” SQL workloads successfully to Azure while getting fast performance they need and de-risking the cloud migration process.

This webinar discusses:
What characterizes untouchable SQL workloads
What this means for the cloud providers
Examples of customers who have successfully adopted the cloud for SQL workloads
How Silk can help your organization get these workloads into Azure
