Enhancing Database Services on the Cisco Intercloud
ScaleArc is excited to announce today that we’re working with Cisco to create innovative cloud services to be delivered to customers via the Cisco Intercloud Marketplace. As enterprises look to leverage cloud services to increase agility and the pace of development, ScaleArc’s database load balancing software enhances the performance and availability of database services in the cloud.
Cloud services run on a larger number of smaller systems, increasing agility and enabling linear scale. Many enterprise apps, however, were written assuming connectivity to a single, large database. The ScaleArc software overcomes this challenge, aggregating multiple smaller instances and looking to the app as if it’s being served by a single instance.
Failover also requires special care in the cloud, since most providers don’t support the IP address migration often relied on for failover. The ScaleArc software manages cross-region failover for database clusters split across different data centers/cloud regions, bringing transparent failover to the cloud.
Here at ScaleArc, we look forward to partnering with Cisco and its other Intercloud Marketplace partners in advancing data services in the cloud.
