XML Networking Gateway

Policy Based Service Mediation and Application Oriented Networking

The SecureSpan™ XML Networking Gateway combines the capabilities of the SecureSpan XML Accelerator, XML Data Screen and XML Firewall and VPN with advanced message routing, mediation, virtualization and SLA features to address generalized Application Oriented Networking (AON) problems. Deployed either as a hardware accelerated appliance or gateway software, the SecureSpan XML Networking Gateway provides SOA and integration architects flexible policy based control for scalably mediating service interactions across message oriented middlewares, protocols, service versions and XML data formats. Through integration with leading registry products, the SecureSpan Networking Gateway can be also be implemented as a high performance runtime policy enforcement point for SOA Governance initiatives.

For scenarios requiring advanced SLA capabilities, the XML SecureSpan Networking Gateway can be deployed in conjunction with leading SOA and Application Performance Management products to enforce routing and throughput policies based on requestor identity, requestor Class of Service, message parameter, service availability or service performance. Customized routing fabrics can also be defined in the SecureSpan XML Networking Gateway based on a target address, requestor identity, SLA performance, transport type, message content or a policy defined condition. For B2B and wide area applications, routing decisions between XML Networking Gateway intermediaries can also be defined across security boundaries.

The SecureSpan XML Networking Gateway is available as a linearly scalable, high performance 64-bit, multi-processor, 1U appliance with onboard XML and crypto acceleration or as Gateway software for Linux and Windows server platforms. All SecureSpan XML Networking Gateways also support device virtualization and come with a policy SDK for custom policy definition.
