WebSphere DataPower Integration Appliance XI52

Enables new and reused services

• Provides XML acceleration, streamlining and securing of service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications, including open standard for authorization (OAuth).
• Helps protect and enable mainframe systems for XML, connecting them to enterprise SOA and web services.
• Uses a declarative, metadata-based approach that enables data-oriented programming (DOP) paradigms to be employed, while reducing bottlenecks.

Helps simplify connectivity

• Enables any-to-any data transformation, including wire speed XML, text, binary, COBOL copybooks, industry standards and custom formats.
• Provides protocol mediation, protocol bridging, transport mediation, multistage pipeline processing and content-based message routing.
• Helps optimize bridging between wire line messaging protocols, including IBM WebSphere MQ, Java Message Service (JMS), file transfer protocol (FTP) and HTTP.
• Supports a range of standards and applications including direct-to-database connection access for IBM DB2®, Oracle, Sybase, data validation, field-level security, web services management and access control.
• 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.

Supports compliance and data governance

• Provides centralized service governance and service-level agreement (SLA) management through integration with IBM WebSphere Service Registry and Repository and IBM Tivoli® Composite Application Manager for SOA.
• Dynamically allocates access to services based on business priorities.
• Offers logging support, including Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) for connectivity to remote storage for off-device logging.
• Includes non-repudiation support.
• 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.

Provides advanced security

• Includes mature message-level security and access control functionality.
• Can parse, filter, transform, route and enforce access-controlled messages in different formats.
• Provides encryption and decryption, as well as digital signature signing and verification capabilities.
• Supports technologies such as Web Services Security (WS-Security), WS-Policy, WS-Trust, Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
