Silk Teams Up With Google Cloud And AMD To Elevate C3D VM Capabilities

Silk has announced its support for the newly launched Google Cloud C3D virtual machines (VMs), which are powered by 4th Generation AMD EPYC processors. These VMs provide Google Cloud customers with enhanced performance, up to 45% better than the previous generation, at a significantly reduced cost while also improving VM resiliency.

Through collaboration and rigorous testing, the Silk platform now achieves 35% faster performance while reducing costs by 15% compared to the previous Google Cloud N2 VMs. "The performance of the C3D VMs enables the most demanding workloads to run on a smaller, less expensive resource footprint," said Adik Sokolovski, Chief R&D Officer at Silk. "Additionally, the advancements in reliability will benefit customers requiring 24x7 availability."

Suresh Andani, Senior Director of Cloud Vertical Marketing at AMD, highlighted the importance of scaling performance requirements in the cloud as data demands grow with more complex AI-driven workloads. "AMD is proud to collaborate with Silk to use high-performance and efficient 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors for the recently launched Google Cloud C3D VMs," he stated.
