ScaleArc announced that the latest release of ScaleArc for SQL Server software supports Microsoft SQL Server 2016.

As with previous versions of SQL Server, the ScaleArc software integrates with key functions in SQL 2016, such as AlwaysOn, to extend its capabilities. The latest ScaleArc software also provides support for Active Directory (AD) integration, to simplify user authentication.

The ScaleArc software makes it easier for enterprises to take advantage of the power of Modern SQL. The software:

· avoids application errors and downtime during database failover

· enables zero downtime maintenance for SQL Server clusters

· supports SQL Server scale out, with readable secondaries, with no application code changes

· supports full asset utilization across a SQL Server cluster with geo-aware load balancing

· integrates with AlwaysOn, clustering, mirroring, and other replication technologies

· provides connection management and app-transparent caching to improve SQL Server performance

The addition of AD support enables the following advantages:

· allows the ScaleArc software to deploy as a read-only domain controller for synchronization with users registered in AD, simplifying the process of authenticating users within ScaleArc

· avoids expensive login negotiations during high volume connection spikes to the database servers, yet provides the same level of security that users get access to via SQL Server

· supports automatic fetching of SQL user credentials from AD so ScaleArc automatically extends appropriate user access control

The enhancements the ScaleArc software extends to SQL Server earned ScaleArc Microsoft Partner of the Year Finalist for Data Platform this year.

“With its strong market momentum and leading position in IT analyst reports, SQL Server 2016 is a compelling platform for enterprises to architect a more robust data tier,” said Justin Barney, President and CEO of ScaleArc. “Working together, ScaleArc and Microsoft can ensure that enterprises adopt Modern SQL, on premise or in Azure, faster and with reduced IT effort.”
