WebSphere DataPower Service Gateway XG45

Govern traffic for SOA, cloud, mobile, XML and web services

WebSphere DataPower Service
Gateway XG45

IBM® WebSphere® DataPower® Service Gateway XG45 is a lightweight, purpose-built hardware platform that provides rapid cloud and mobile services deployments, governance and integration. It also serves as an edge-of-network security gateway.

WebSphere DataPower Service Gateway XG45 includes:

  • Dynamic routing of web services to help deliver cost-effective and flexible integration of applications.
  • Frontline security for inbound and outbound traffic by acting as a web-facing application firewall or web services proxy.
  • Support for industry and regulatory compliance with advanced policy enforcement and auditing capabilities.

Dynamic routing of web services

  • Manages distributed web service endpoints and proxies in heterogeneous service-oriented architecture (SOA), mobile and cloud environments.
  • Processes and validates messages at a central point so that only valid requests reach back-end resources.
  • Offers XML acceleration and 10-gigabit Ethernet, extended memory support for large messages and optimized load distribution.
  • Enables self-load balancing over a cluster of appliances, reducing the need for additional front-end load balancers.
  • Is available as a virtual edition to run in VMware hypervisor environments, powered by a purpose-built platform and designed to provide industry-leading workload functionality similar to the corresponding physical appliance.

Frontline security for inbound and outbound traffic

  • Performs security functions such as XML schema validation, XML encryption, XML signature and Web Services Security (WS-Security).
  • Signs, verifies, encrypts and decrypts a variety of content for advanced authentication and authorization.
  • Enforces security standards without the need for coding, using configurable digital signatures and open standard for authorization (OAuth).
  • Validates incoming requests and logs malformed and malicious traffic to provide post-attack forensics.
  • Supports systems and standards such as Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS), Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) and Extensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML).

Support for industry and regulatory compliance

  • Helps achieve and maintain industry/regulatory compliance such as Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance with robust data protection, policy enforcement and auditing capabilities.
  • Integrates with IBM WebSphere Service Registry and Repository and IBM Tivoli® Composite Application Manager for SOA integration.
  • Provides centralized policy management and offers service-level management (SLM) alerts and logging as well as pull and enforce policies to support third-party systems and unified dashboards.
  • Supports Web Services Policy (WS-Policy) standards such as WS-PolicyAttachment and WS-MediationPolicy.
  • Provides a Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 Level 3 certified hardware security module (HSM) as an embedded, factory-installed option. The HSM provides tamper-proof storage of private key material used for cryptographic operations performed on the appliance.

Helps secure, control, optimize and integrate access to web, mobile and API workloads.

  • Enhanced OAuth 2.0 functionality includes support for public client, implicit grant type and refresh token
  • Kerberos-constrained delegation support—specifically S4U2Proxy based on incoming AP-REQ token.

Support for Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.1 and 1.2 to meet strict security requirements.

  • New XQuery 1.0 support provides easy-to-use query and manipulation of XML data.
  • Enhanced JSON support and enhanced policy framework support and transaction monitoring support with built-in, monitoring data collection and support for LDAP connection pooling.
  • Supports enhanced transaction monitoring support with built-in, monitoring data collection of traffic flowing through multi-protocol gateway service.
  • Enhanced SSL Proxy service supports user-controlled timeouts and connection limits, and resiliency for misbehaving clients or providers.

Helps secure mobile web traffic for IBM Worklight

  • Enhanced form-based, login authentication support enables built-in integration with IBM Worklight.
  • Configuration patterns are provided to easily deploy DataPower appliances as a proxy and security policy enforcement point in front of the Worklight Server.

Front-end proxy for IBM WebSphere Application Server

  • Embedded On Demand Router (ODR) capability within DataPower appliances simplifies deployment topologies.
  • Operational agility that enables intelligent load balancing decisions to backend WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment environments.

Response caching and integration with DataPower XC10 and integration with DataPower and IMS

  • Provides configuration driven local caching on the appliance for HTTP response messages from backend provider systems.
  • Offers built-in, seamless integration with elastic, distributed caching XC10 appliances to cache HTTP response data.
  • Delivers fast, consistent response times and reduces load on back-end systems for web services, and mobile and web application traffic.

Enhanced value for System z

  • IMS Callout feature allows IMS transactions to easily consume external web services via DataPower , with minimal application updates required.
  • IMS DB feature easily exposes IMS data as a service to remote applications.

Pattern-based configurations

  • Intuitive, easy-to-use tool that runs on DataPower appliances, for creating and deploying common DataPower configuration patterns
  • Allows scalability of use and reduced time to value.
