ScaleArc is one of the first partners to complete certification and achieve this status. Both ScaleArc for SQL Server and ScaleArc for MySQL qualify for the VMware Ready – vCloud Air logo, signifying to customers that this software works seamlessly within VMware vCloud Air, and can be deployed in production with confidence," said Sanjay Katyal, vice president, Global Strategic Alliances & OEMs, VMware.

Customers who want to extend workloads to the cloud are often faced with application availability concerns that are tied to database performance issues. Database instances are typically smaller, and hybrid deployments that have the database on premise and the application in the cloud can introduce performance problems. The ScaleArc software inserts transparently between the applications and databases to create an agile data tier that optimizes query flows and shields applications from failures at the database infrastructure tier.

"By achieving vCloud Air certification and welcoming VMware into our ecosystem of Service Provider partners, joint customers can now experience peak performance for their apps with higher availability, including eliminating maintenance windows for their database environments," said Justin Barney, president and CEO of ScaleArc. "ScaleArc's software understands the database architecture, monitors the customer's database servers, and automatically migrates traffic from one node to another to ensure zero downtime for applications. Because the whole process is automated, we make it easy for VMware's enterprise customers to migrate workloads to the cloud without requiring any application changes."

The VMware Ready program is a co-branding benefit of the Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) program that makes it easy for customers to identify partner products certified to work with VMware cloud infrastructure. Customers can use these products and solutions to lower project risks and realize cost savings over custom built solutions. With thousands of members worldwide, the VMware TAP program includes best-of-breed technology partners with the shared commitment to bring the best expertise and business solution for each unique customer need.
