- Specialized Hardware for ESB,Integration,Security and SOA
Policy Management
- IBM® WebSphere® DataPower Integration Appliance XI50
- IBM® WebSphere® DataPower XML Security Gateway XS40
- IBM® WebSphere® DataPower XML Accelerator XA35
The XI50 is a 1U (1.75" thick)
rack-mountable network device powered by unique, purpose-built
technology to help your business do the following
- Transforms between disparate message formats, including
binary, legacy, and XML, and provides message routing and
security, MQ/HTTP/FTP connectivity, and transport mediation
- Provides transport-independent transformations between
binary, flat-text, and other non-XML messages, including
COBOL Copybook, CORBA, ISO 8583, ASN.1, and EDI, to offer an
innovative solution for security-rich XML enablement,
enterprise message buses and mainframe connectivity;
- Enables interaction among multiple heterogeneous
applications
- Near real-time information displayed on customized
dashboards, gives you the ability to make timely changes
often well ahead of the competition
- Makes application integration a network function,
providing transport-independent transformation, routing, and
auditing.
IBM® WebSphere® DataPower XML Security
Gateway XS40 simplifies, helps secure, and accelerates your
SOA.
- Helps provide comprehensive XML security and the
wirespeed performance needed for real-world applications
- Powered by XML processing technology and built from the
ground up with security in mind to be a security-enforcement
point for XML and Web services transactions
- Provides more than just an XML firewall: An XML proxy
with carrier-grade features that can parse, filter, validate
schema, decrypt, verify signatures, access-control,
transform, sign, and encrypt XML message flows
- Provides a security-enforcement point for XML and Web
services transactions, including encryption, firewall
filtering, digital signatures, schema validation,
WS-Security, XML access control, and Xpath
- Helps enable high-performance XML Web services security.
Because XS40 policies are entirely XML-based, enterprises
have fine-grained control of security without being locked
into a proprietary framework. This inherent agility ensures
that the XS40 easily adapts to changing standards, policies,
and partners for any number of applications
IBM® WebSphere® DataPower XML
Accelerator XA35 simplifies, helps secure, and accelerates
your service oriented architecture
- Provides a true network device capable of off-loading
overtaxed servers by processing XML, XSD, XPath, and XSLT at
wirespeed.
- Accelerates XML/XSLT processing, increasing throughput
and decreasing latency
- Combines the XML processing power of multiple servers in
a single network device, off-loading heavy lifting from
general purpose servers
- Reduces the cost and complexity that comes with
over-provisioned systems so they don't fall victim to traffic
spikes and application demand
- Supports innovative XML processing features such as XML
pipeline processing to enable the most complex enterprise
applications
Benefits
- Hardened, specialized hardware for helping to integrate,
secure, and accelerate SOA
- Higher levels of security assurance certifications
require hardware -Example: FIPS 140-2 Level 3 HSM, Common
Criteria
- Higher performance with hardware acceleration -Impact:
ability to perform more security checks without slow downs
- Addresses the divergent needs of different groups -
Example: enterprise architects, network operations, security
operations, identity management, web services developers
- Simplified deployment and ongoing management - Impact:
Reduces need for in-house SOA skills & accelerates time to
SOA benefits
- “Commodity” Processes Migrate to Hardware
What we can do?
- Helps in developing a standard (enterprise wide) SOA
platform to handle XML routing & transformation functions
between legacy applications and Web Service delivery
technology.
- Quick Installation and training of Data Power appliances.
- POC/POT of using SOA Appliances in federated ESB with
other websphere ESB solutions.
