ScaleArc has updated its ScaleArc for MySQL software.

The latest release enhances the query load balancing capabilities of the software and supports MySQL 5.7.

ScaleArc’s database load balancing software deploys between application and database servers to direct traffic into the database on behalf of the application. The software provides app-transparent failover, zero downtime maintenance and faster application performance.

ScaleArc has augmented the query load balancing functionality to support the distribution of reads and writes within a transaction. Earlier versions of the software sent all transactions to the master server, and, as a result, applications that had the majority of queries wrapped in transactions could not take full advantage of ScaleArc’s load distribution capabilities. Now, all applications can leverage readable secondaries – called slaves in MySQL databases – to offload the master and increase application performance.

ScaleArc also updated its ScaleArc for MySQL software to support the latest release from the MySQL community, MySQL 5.7. This integration extends ScaleArc’s uptime, performance and scalability features to customers running this software.

These enhancements join ScaleArc’s recent update to enable compatibility with Amazon Aurora. The update leveraged Amazon Aurora’s application programming interfaces (APIs) to apply ScaleArc’s uptime and performance capabilities to Amazon Aurora’s environment.

“As we innovate with every release, we extend the landscape of applications that can benefit from the improved availability and performance our software delivers,” said Rajkumar Irudayaraj, VP of Products for ScaleArc. “Our load balancing capabilities, combined with app-transparent failover, enable our customers to deliver the robust, consumer-grade applications that today’s customers demand.”
