Application Performance would like to thank the organisers of the Cambridge SQL Saturday for such a well-attended event. As a sponsor it is always gratifying to see so many people dropping by.

Most interest at AP’s stand was around ScaleArc, a solution from one of our partners. ScaleArc is a proxy, firewall and load balancer for SQL Server, MySQL and Oracle. DBAs we spoke to seemed to appreciate the benefits that it provides such as:

• zero-downtime failover
• simplified maintenance and patching
• improved application scalability
• stronger security

What is more, ScaleArc the company is a Microsoft data platform partner of the year finalist for “excellence in innovation and implementation of customer solutions based on Microsoft technology”.

If you are interested in finding out more about ScaleArc for yourself, may we suggest the following short YouTube video  It shows what caching, load-balancing and auto-failover look like through the ScaleArc console. If we have piqued your interest, or you would like a demonstration for you and your colleagues, drop us a line.
