ScaleBase was a company that sold software to databases for cloud computing. The company was located in the Boston, Massachusetts, area.[1]

History

[edit]

ScaleBase was founded in 2009 by Doron Levari. ScaleBase software was first released in August 2011.[3] ScaleArc raised $5.33 million in December 2011.[4] Ram Metser, formerly CEO of Guardium, a database security company acquired by IBM in 2009, was named as CEO in October 2012. That month, ScaleBase closed a Series B round of $10.5 million from Bain Capital Ventures, Ascent Venture Partners and its original investor, Cedar Fund.[5][6] $12 million of new funding was announced in January 2013, led by Accell Partners.[7]

The assets of ScaleBase were acquired by ScaleArc in August 2015.[8]

Technology

[edit]

ScaleBase developed two products: ScaleBase and Analysis Genie.

  • ScaleBase was a distributed database cluster built on MySQL.[9] This capability provides the scalability and availability benefits of distributed database while retaining relational database characteristics. ScaleBase provided visibility and control of the variables that impact the data distribution policy.[10]
  • Analysis Genie was software as a service that analyzed schema and queries. Its purpose was to suggest a data distribution policy tuned for individual application requirements and database workloads.
