Case Study: PensionPro achieves 80% server load reduction and instant database scalability with ScaleArc

PensionPro Optimizes and Scales Database Performance with ScaleArc

PensionPro, a Harrisburg, PA–based SaaS provider of pension administration software, was rapidly outgrowing its SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn database infrastructure. With a small IT team and limited cycles for upgrades, the company needed a way to scale performance and maintain continuous availability without changing the application or database.

PensionPro deployed ScaleArc’s agentless SQL proxy with in-memory query caching and transparent read/write split, requiring no code or schema changes. The outcome was immediate: server load dropped by 80%, application uptime remained uninterrupted through AlwaysOn integration, connections were cut by more than half via multiplexing, and real-time analytics freed the IT team to focus on strategic projects.
