HealthEquity Performance Improvement Case Study

This case study details HealthEquity's experience in enhancing the performance of its business platform on Microsoft Azure using Silk. HealthEquity, which administers Health Savings Accounts and other consumer-directed benefits, faced challenges in achieving faster responsiveness without overprovisioning resources. The company needed to migrate its applications to Azure while ensuring they could handle substantial spikes in demand. Silk's software platform optimized cloud resources, leading to significant performance improvements. The results included a fivefold increase in performance compared to native Azure UltraDisk and consistent latency of less than 0.5 milliseconds. Additionally, HealthEquity realized a 36% reduction in costs attributed to Silk's data lifecycle management. The case study emphasizes the critical role Silk played in facilitating HealthEquity's cloud migration and modernization efforts, highlighting its importance in managing complex business-critical applications in the public cloud.
