XML Accelerator

Speed XML Processing, Validation and Transformation

XML processing is computationally expensive and, if handled by application servers, Enterprise Service Buses (ESBs) or other back-end infrastructure, can significantly impact response times and overall network performance. To account for XML traffic, most organizations attempt to optimize back-end server performance, resulting not only in increased infrastructure costs but also (typically) increased overall network load, which can limit performance gains.

The SecureSpan XML Accelerator offloads extremely processor-intensive XML parsing, validation and transformation operations from application servers, database servers and Enterprise Service Buses (ESBs). By deploying the XML Accelerator at or near the edge of the network, organizations can optimize network performance.

• Improve Quality of Service – Enhance application services reliability by offloading XML processing from the services infrastructure, thereby ensuring Web services remain readily available
• Accelerate XML Parsing and Processing – Minimize latency with hardware-accelerated message parsing, searching, classification, element detection and content comparisons
• Accelerate Document Transformation – high-speed message transformations based on internal or external XSLT/XPath
• Accelerate Message Validation and Routing – High-speed message validation against predefined external schema; routing based on specific message content or message context
