1. Improving App Availability and Performance in the Cloud
Summer 2014

2. Apps are Hamstrung by Today’s Database Structure
1:1 tie between app and database
Database = common source of outage
Planned (maintenance) and unplanned
Failover causes app errors
Scaling is challenging and costly

3. Top Use Cases and Projects for Enterprise Customers
Customer choose ScaleArc for:
Continuous App Availability
As part of projects for:

Zero Downtime Maintenance
Add Capacity with No Downtime
Data Center Modernization
SQL Server 2012/2014 Upgrades
Cloud
Migration
On cross data center – also note it’s across availability zones or regions
Data center modernization – could be expansion, consolidation, infrastructure upgrades – so building new ones or upgrading them
If not SQL Server, verbal overlay re: any upgrade vs. just SQL Server
Cloud migration – also helps hybrid deployment
All enabled without any changes to the app or database
