Case Study: Spectocor achieves zero downtime and scalable database performance with ScaleArc

Spectocor’s Telemedicine Solution Never Misses a Beat with ScaleArc

Spectocor is a San Francisco–based telemedicine leader that uses IoT cardiac monitors to capture roughly 500 data points per second and produce multi-billion–record studies per patient. Facing hypergrowth (300–400% annually), strict HIPAA requirements, and a distributed SQL Server 2014 AlwaysOn deployment across multiple data centers, Spectocor needed zero downtime, geo-aware data access, and the ability to scale without diverting development resources to database optimization.

Spectocor deployed ScaleArc’s SQL load‑balancing software between its apps and databases to provide app‑transparent failover, queue inbound queries during failover, route around maintenance, and enable cross‑data‑center, geo‑aware load balancing with real‑time analytics. The result: scaled performance for billions of records with no hardware or application changes, continuous availability and zero downtime maintenance, faster troubleshooting, and retained HIPAA compliance.
