3 ScaleArc Overview ScaleArc is the leading provider of database traffic management software. Our software enables zero downtime for applications in a database environment, eliminating both planned and unplanned downtime. The ScaleArc software inserts transparently between the application and database, enabling an agile data tier that immediately improves availability and performance with no changes to the app or database. Our customers gain instant scalability, with no changes to the application or the database, for their on-premise or cloud deployments. The ScaleArc software abstracts database servers from application servers to provide instant scale up, transparent scale out, and auto failover. Realtime visibility into every query enables real-time analytics and instant troubleshooting, one-click query caching, wire-speed security enforcement, and much more. ScaleArc acts like a Layer 7 SQL proxy; we do for the database and SQL protocol what web load balancers do for the web and application tier as Layer 7 HTTP proxies. ScaleArc supports MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle ScaleArc. All Rights Reserved. 1

4 ScaleArc is the only solution that reduces overall CAPEX and OPEX costs by up to 50% and delivers instant performance improvements of up to 24x with no disruptions to existing environments. Until now, achieving such capabilities required significant investment in engineering resources and ongoing maintenance with too many singlepurpose solutions from multiple sources that require constant changes to applications, as well as individual management and upkeep. The ScaleArc software has a variety of deployment options to match your environment and your budget. You can deploy ScaleArc software on bare metal, on a VM, or in the cloud. ScaleArc deploys quickly typically within two weeks. Who ScaleArc Helps CIO / CTOs Savings on both CapEx and OpEx, reduced infrastructure spend, fewer database licenses and servers Ability to leverage Public and Private Cloud IT Operations Faster application performance Instant vertical and horizontal scalability by adding another server Load balancing on read-only servers, with dynamic load balancing Read/write split to simplify the database server management Increased performance of the Master Server by connection pooling and by serving content from cache Restful API s for integration with other monitoring tools Application Development No changes to application or database Consolidating database engineering logic into a single point as opposed to distributed across Application servers; eliminating 1:1 connections to database Ability to cache at the database level, one-click caching Accelerated time to develop new applications and new features by making developers more efficient, meet business goals faster 2014 ScaleArc.

5 Ability to test new code in QA prior to production rollout, faster debugging Holistic, real-time instrumentation and actionable analytics of all SQL queries, in one pane of glass, ability to see query patterns that are causing problems and allow the ability to fix them immediately Simplified Sharding and ability to route queries based on UserID, IP ranges, and other parameters, ensuring the best utilization of production database servers DBAs No changes to the database ScaleArc provides real-time database visibility with actionable analytics, less trouble shooting, more time to optimize database performance SQL surge protection, ensuring the database will never be overloaded Simplified failover Architects / Engineering Ability to adopt new, scalable architectures quickly and easily Provides DBaaS for both Public and Private Cloud architectures, built in multitenancy Database High Availability and Disaster Recovery scenarios Reduce costs with database upgrades, i.e. moving from MS SQL server 2005 to 2008 and 2012/2014 Security Enhanced database security with wire-speed SQL filtering Historical Database Challenges Hard to Diagnose Full-Logging reduces performance Too many servers to diagnose ScaleArc solves this by being the Centralized Logger with Real Time Analytics Hard to Scale Out 1:1 App-DB relations make scaling very hard Replication issues make load balancing tricky ScaleArc solves this with Connection Multiplexing resulting in fewer connections on the server and real time inspection of replication lag. ScaleArc will only send queries to servers that are in sync 2014 ScaleArc. All Rights Reserved. 3

6 Hard to Cache NoSQL requires significant app mods More difficult to maintain & diagnose ScaleArc solves this with a resident in memory NoSQL Query Cache Hard to Maintain Availability HA still based on age old methods Taking servers out for maintenance difficult ScaleArc solves this by automatically promoting a slave server in the event of a master failure and selectively performing maintenance on a server without impacting traffic. ScaleArc will gracefully shutdown databases Hard to Implement Multi-Data Center Failover Difficult to design and deploy Difficult to route traffic away from a failed database Active/Active difficult with MS SQL ScaleArc solves this by intelligently routing database traffic to all available servers regardless of location Hard to Secure & Control SQL Injection most common hack vector Data theft can cause major reputation damage ScaleArc solves this by protecting queries from illegal or improper structures at the database tier using simple ACLs and regex 2014 ScaleArc.

8 Sample Customers Summary of Benefits from Typical ScaleArc Customers Higher Availability ScaleArc is able to provide failover that is transparent to the app. The ScaleArc software leverages the replication in place and queues transactions during failover. As a result, applications see delay rather than errors and avoid having to be restarted. Better Performance ScaleArc is able to transparently cache queries, customers on average are experiencing 80% cache hit rates. Cached queries are served from memory within ScaleArc which allows up to 60x faster response queries. More Revenue Higher availability and performance drive more transactions to completion, and also boosts sites on internet search engine results, which drive more traffic and revenue. Scalability ScaleArc provides an immediate boost to an existing database capacity, allowing them to handle more traffic. ScaleArc also solves 2014 ScaleArc. All Rights Reserved. 6

9 horizontal scalability challenges without requiring any application modifications. Visibility Real-time analytics engine reduce troubleshooting times significantly and saves considerably on operational costs. ROI Customers are realizing in many cases an immediate ROI, overall average is 6-9 months. What Customers Are Saying About ScaleArc: Other solutions we examined required application code modifications to implement sharding. With idb, we don t have to touch the games and we get enormous benefits of scale. ScaleArc saves me from hiring a systems person the system essentially pays for itself. - John Todd, director of operations at KIXEYE ScaleArc solved our database scalability, performance and visibility issues instantly without touching our applications or our databases. We generate more revenue with ScaleArc and the ROI is incredibly short. It is rare that I find a new technology that provides such an impact like ScaleArc. - Craig Thayer, Vice President at Sazze ScaleArc solved my mission-critical issues without touching my apps or databases. The ROI was instantaneous. It solved a serious business continuity issue we faced with our mobile app business. - Matt Orr, Weather Decision Technologies, CIO WDT 2014 ScaleArc.
