Percona, AWS, and Interop, Oh MY!
Our conference schedule went into overdrive in the past 3 weeks. During that time, we exhibited at the AWS Summit NY, Percona Live in Santa Clara, the AWS Summit in SF, and finally at Interop in Las Vegas. LOTS of interest in
ScaleArc, and we already have many evaluations underway as a result of the shows!
The Percona Live MySQL conference was an easy commute. We literally walked across the street from our offices to the Santa Clara Convention Center! It was great engaging with the MySQL crowd, as they really feel the pain in trying to scale their MySQL environments. One of our customers, Mark Grennan of Weather Decision Technologies, flew in from Oklahoma for the show. It was great to see Mark, and he was kind enough to hang out in our booth for a while to serve as an on-demand customer reference! You can read about Weather Decision’s success with ScaleArc iDB in the case study.
Crowds in our booth at Percona Live
The two Amazon events were great. Both Summits were packed, though SF was definitely more crowded. Similar to the Cloud Connect event we attended last month, we met with lots of folks looking for cloud-based database services including caching, SQL analytics, clustering, load balancing, and more. ScaleArc iDB was music to their ears!
Interop was a blast. This was ScaleArc’s first Interop, and it did not disappoint. We ran demos of ScaleArc iDB every half hour, and our demo theater was packed. Our “Keep Calm” t-shirts were a big hit, and were available in two flavors: “Keep Calm and Scale On” and “Keep Calm and Cache On” (note to self: order more size L next time.) In fact, people even tweeted about our shirts:
Keep calm and scale on. Best shirts at #Interop! Way to go @scalearc! #scalearc #vegas twitter.com/ladyleet/statu…

Our popular T-Shirts from Interop. Which do you prefer?
We raffled off 3 Google Nexus 7’s at Interop. Congratulations to the winners: Stephen L. of Philadelphia, PA; Chris G. of Dallas, TX; and Jon N. of Huntington Beach, CA.
OK, back to work. We’re getting ready for the F5 Government Technology Symposium 2013 next week in Washington, D.C. We’re really looking forward to this one, as ScaleArc does for the database tier what F5 does for the Web/application tier. You can read more about that in Justin’s recent blog post
