After that, the companies left unacquired will be putting together a new twist on their XML strategies in hopes of finding a different exit.
Privately held DataPower makes integration and security appliances for processing XML and Web services traffic -- a portfolio IBM says will help its customers with their efforts to deploy service-oriented architectures (SOA).
DataPower's current products include the XI50 Integration Device, which streamlines SOA infrastructures; the XA35 XML Accelerator, which offloads XML processing; and the XS40 XML Security Gateway, which helps provide message-level Web services security.
IBM is acquiring the sales leader in the application-oriented networking market -- and a company that already has a solid relationship with IBM's software, hardware and services groups, he says.
DataPower is among a handful of companies to focus on processing high volumes of XML traffic with requisite connectivity, security, integration and acceleration features built into its wares. ...
