IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances

IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances is a family of pre-built, pre-configured rack-mountable network devices (XML appliances) designed to accelerate XML and Web Services deployments while extending SOA infrastructure. Originally these devices were created by DataPower Technology Inc., which was acquired by IBM in October 2005.

This WebSphere family consists of hardware and virtual appliances. The appliances are designed to be scalable, with options for high availability and clustering for increased performance and reliability.
