Scaling Drupal to handle a large number of anonymous users accessing static content is relatively simple. As you make your site more interactive to increase user engagement, however, use-driven content and the number of authenticated users increases dramatically.

Handling this type of workload has traditionally involved complex, time-consuming and costly database configurations. The task could range from changing a few configuration settings to deploying high-end hardware systems or diving into the intricacies of SQL-query optimizations. It often requires a diverse set of skills that range from basic Web developer stuff like LAMP stack setup to advanced DBA SQL tuning expertise.

Now imagine a product that can easily scale your Drupal site and increase performance without rewriting a single line of code. That’s what the Tesora Database Virtualization Engine™ does. It greatly simplifies server and database optimization by:

Scaling your database to grow and shrink in support of varying content and web traffic

Eliminating the need to configure Drupal to recognize multiple database servers

Supporting more concurrent authenticated site visitors simply by adding more MySQL servers

A report by Achieve Internet that shows Tesora's Database Virtualization Engine is able to handle twice the amount of traffic in 1/2 the response time over MySQL without Tesora.
