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.
