SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 10, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PERCONA LIVE -- At the Percona Live Conference and Expo today, ScaleArc, the pioneer in a new category of database infrastructure that accelerates application development by simplifying database deployment and management, and PalominoDB, a MySQL database services company, today announced a technology partnership with that will help customers solve the scaling, performance and availability challenges of MySQL environments. ScaleArc iDB is a refreshingly simple software approach. It requires no changes to customers' existing environments, provides up to 50% reduced CAPEX and OPEX costs, and performance improvements from 6 to 24x.
Under the terms of the agreement, PalominoDB will offer the ScaleArc iDB solution to its global customer base to provide a cost-effective way of scaling customers' database architectures while increasing application performance, visibility, and uptime – all without requiring any modifications to existing environments.
PalominoDB is a boutique consultancy best known for its top MySQL experts who specialize in open source database technologies including MongoDB, MySQL, Postgres, Cassandra and HBase. Their technically-deep team offers consulting services ranging from architecture design and migration, to performance audits, tuning and on-going infrastructure support and includes work with companies such as Zappos, Chegg, Technorati, Slideshare and Zendesk.
"PalominoDB are wizards at database architecture and design, and their team of top-notch DBA experts truly understands the tradeoffs among different database technologies," said Justin Barney, president and COO of ScaleArc.
PalominoDB recently compared open source and commercial offerings for SQL routing and scalability options for MySQL databases and concluded that ScaleArc iDB offers several distinct competitive advantages over current market offerings.
"Out of all SQL Routing options, ScaleArc specifically stands out with its unique set of features specifically aimed at scaling MySQL databases," said Laine Campbell, CEO of PalominoDB. "ScaleArc databases' specific architecture paired with intelligent routing, master/master replication and query caching make it one of the best choices to scaling MySQL-based applications."
PalominoDB is a technology-agnostic services company. While they recommend products where appropriate, they do not accept reseller fees or any compensation in return for their recommendations.
About ScaleArc
ScaleArc is the pioneer in a new category of database infrastructure software that simplifies the way database environments are deployed and managed, and lowers costs without any changes to applications or databases. The ScaleArc iDB software abstracts database servers from application servers to provide instant horizontal scaling and connection management, and enables real-time visibility into every query to provide instant analytics and troubleshooting, one-click query caching, wire-speed security enforcement, and more. Until now, achieving such capabilities required significant investment in engineering resources and ongoing maintenance with too many single-purpose solutions from multiple sources that require constant changes to applications, as well as individual management and upkeep.
