IBM DataPower XA35 Accelerator Appliance

The appliance that offloads XML processing from servers

The IBM DataPower XA35: XML processing at a strength equivalent to 10 servers in a simple 1U rack.

Based on the patented XPG3 technology, the IBM WebSphere DataPower XA35 XML Accelerator is the only network appliance able to offload XML processing from servers (syntax analysis, transformations, protocol conversion, filtering and routing, and SSL encryption), XSD, XPath and XSLT with wirespeed performance. With the XA35, return on investment for new applications can be achieved much more quickly. The XA35 can be quickly and easily installed in the enterprise infrastructure, thus offloading ponderous XML-related processing from application servers and web servers.

The IBM WebSphere DataPower XA35 appliance provides a number of advantages impossible to obtain with other approaches:

Functions

Advantages

Unmatched performance

The only heavy-duty solution that accelerates XML/XSLT processing by a factor of 10 or more with increased throughput and decreased latency.

Pilot applications switch into production mode more rapidly. Decreased user rejection rate for applications. Investments in XML projects are recovered.

Incomparable power acceleration

The XA35 appliance on its own has the power of 10 servers in a simple 1U stack. It effortlessly handles the unwieldy processing related to XML flows in server farms.

Decreased costs and complexity for systems with too many resources to manage. Traffic and application load peaks are absorbed.

Advanced support for applications

The XA35 supports intelligent such XML processing as XML Pipeline Processing, facilitating the use of more complex applications.

Advanced features eliminate the delicate task of manual XML optimization, avoiding performance constraints.

A uniform infrastructure

The XA35 is the first intelligent network appliance based on XML Aware Network (XAN) architecture that makes it possible to share the processing capabilities of numerous applications.

Standardizes the infrastructure with a single type of appliance processing XML according to current standards. Facilitates application development while reducing production launch time.

Ease of installation

Self-learning XML and XSLT DataPower appliances eliminate the need to change generated code. And no changes are required in the network, servers or applications.

Highly fluid server deployment decreases the total cost of ownership. Developers can concentrate on application development instead of on the infrastructure.

High Availability

The XS35 was intentionally designed without a hard drive or any other component that could break down. It also incorporates high-availability and load-balancing devices enabling hot-standby operation.

Critical applications are always available.
