Implementing IBM WebSphere DataPower ® To Your SOA

SOA Secure - the DataPower ® Specialists

IBM WebSphere DataPower® Appliances - SOA Secure's Specialty

In 2005 IBM introduced a product called DataPower®, an appliance that focused on speed, security and transformation. Over 5 years later these appliances have become mainstays.

WebSphere DataPower® SOA Appliances provide the ability to understand and act upon application data as it traverses the network. While this application awareness is not, in itself, a new networking concept, XML has accelerated its appeal and difficulty. That is, application awareness comes with many security, complexity, and performance challenges. As a result, a new genre of hardened software, hardware, and XML-centric appliances has arisen to bridge this gap.

These appliances focus on providing consumability, performance, and hardened security. They can extend the ESB into the network and also provide an SOA gateway for business-to-business integration.
