Pros	IgniteTech ScaleArc does provide high availability and during failover it takes care of the master slave lag as well seamless switch between master and slave. ScaleArc also helps to reduce application traffic on MySQL database server by filtering frequently used commands like AUTOCOMMIT. ScaleArc provides a single interface for all application and database user management. This helps in strengthening security aspects of user management.

However; I would recommend the analytics be a little more easier to use and more intuitive for drilling down to the source of the problem.
