Scaling the Data Tier with Intelligent Load Balancing

The growth of social networks, video, mobile and the Web in general has resulted in an explosion in information and sparked a major industry shift around data management.

This has led to an inflection point in elevating customers’ needs to effectively scale, secure and optimize data infrastructures. This white paper discusses a native SQL data load balancing solution, the first ADC (application delivery controller) to extend the benefits of scalability, availability, and security for the web tier to the data tier.
