As XML adoption within the enterprise increases, the growing number of slow-performing applications demonstrates that existing overtaxed software systems cannot support next-generation applications. Enterprises need a platform that addresses XML's performance, security, and management requirements head-on.
Powered by unique purpose-built technology, IBM® WebSphere® DataPower XML Accelerator XA35 is a true network device capable of off-loading overtaxed servers by processing XML, XSD, XPath, and XSLT at wirespeed. The XA35 ensures that time and capital invested in new applications produce results. The flexibility of the XA35 allows it to be installed in any number of different locations within the enterprise to off-load Web and application servers from the arduous task of XML processing.
Features and benefits include:
Dynamic content generation
XML is gaining rapid adoption because it can be repurposed for an endless range of device types and applications. In practice, dynamically generating content with traditional software results in unacceptable latency and costs. On demand publishing, wireless device support, and content syndication are all applications in which the XA35 provides transformation of XML into any format without requiring expensive and unwieldy infrastructure.
Enable high-performance portals
Enterprise portals have quickly become a necessity for sharing information and even applications both internally and externally. Behind the scenes, XML Web services are the standard for the integration of disparate data sets and applications into portal applications. In these environments the XA35 boosts the number of transactions per second while helping to lower the overall cost and complexity of portal applications.
Enable data and forms processing
Enterprises increasingly aggregate information from a number of sources, including telephone data entry, facsimile, online form submission, and manual data entry. Using XML and XSLT, enterprises can automate forms processing and normalize data received from any number of sources.
Wirespeed performance
The purpose-built message processing engine delivers wirespeed performance for both XML to XML and XML to HTML transformations with increased throughput and decreased latency.
Ease of use
The XA35 provides drop-in acceleration with virtually no changes to the network or application software.
Reduced infrastructure costs
The XA35 fully parses, processes, and transforms XML with wirespeed performance and scalability to help reduce the need for stacks of servers.
Lower development costs
The XA35 enables multiple applications to leverage a single, uniformed XML processing layer for all XML processing needs.
Intelligent XML processing
The XA35 supports XML routing, XML pipeline processing, XML compression, XML/XSL caching, as well as other intelligent processing capabilities to help manage XML traffic.
Advanced management
The XA35 provides real-time visibility into critical XML statistics such as throughput, transaction counts, errors, and other processing statistics.
Broad management interface support
The XA35 includes WSDM, WSDL-based policy creation, Eclipse/WebSphere Application Studio, command line interface, SNMP, and SOAP management.
