Promenix, Inc. Forms Consulting Practice Based on IBM WebSphere(R) DataPower(R)* SOA Appliances4 May 2006
Promenix, Inc., an enterprise application integration and SOA consulting company, today announced an additional practice competency using IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA appliances. These services continue to add to Promenix's capability as a full-service SOA consulting provider.
As SOA becomes increasingly more important to organizations, the ability to simplify, help secure and accelerate SOA including the ability to process complex XML data in a high-speed, highly-secure, and reliable manner becomes key to successful implementations. IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA appliances, such as the WebSphere DataPower Integration Appliance XI50 and WebSphere DataPower XML Security Gateway XS40, address key barriers to scalable, easy- to-deploy application integration and security.
Promenix customers will now be able to leverage the skills and knowledge of Promenix consultants versed in the capabilities of IBM's WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliance suite. Incorporating this technology into an SOA framework will provide the following benefits:
-- Transformation between arbitrary binary, flat text and XML message
formats
-- Message-level security through encryption/decryption, digital
signatures, SSL, WS-Security
-- Fine-grained access control enforcement including SAML, LDAP support
-- Multiple synchronous and asynchronous transport protocols, including
IBM WebSphere MQ Series
-- Visual tools to describe data formats, create mappings between
different formats, and define message choreography
-- Detailed logging and audit trail, including non-repudiation support
-- Message Processing done in wirespeed time
"Enterprises seeking to fully embrace SOA need to understand the security requirements and processing required that XML and web services place upon an organization. Understanding how application-oriented networking can address these requirements and how they fit into the overall architecture are keys to success," said Matt Franklin, Vice President, Promenix, Inc. "Our clients recognize that these SOA appliances are the next phase of the evolution of application integration."
"XML Web services have become dominant for connecting disparate systems in an SOA," said Jim Ricotta, General Manager, IBM SOA Appliances "IBM technology provides connectivity as well as message-level security, routing, integration and acceleration for SOA now in a specialized IBM hardware form factor. WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances nicely complement Promenix's SOA service delivery capabilities."
