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

Features/Functionality
| XML Acceleration | | Wirespeed XML message processing | - Hardware accelerated message classification, parsing and optimized FastPath Stream Processor minimizes latency
- User defined variables provides low-latency caching of message context for subsequent policy decisions or message processing
- Routing based on specific message content or message context
| | Accelerated document transformation and concatenation | - High speed message transformations based on internal or external XSLT/XPath
| | Message versioning between applications | - Hardware accelerated message searching, element detection and content comparisons
| | Accelerated XML data validation | - High speed message validation against predefined external schema
- Configurable limits on XML message size, element size, nesting depth, string length, etc.
| | ESB co-processing | - Acts as an endpoint for processor-intensive XML operations; routes results to the ESB for further handling
| | Enterprise-scale Management | | Operations Console | - A single, real time view of all Gateways across the enterprise and cloud showing audits, events and key metrics
| | Policy Migration | - Centrally move policies between environments (development, testing, staging, production, etc), settings (enterprise, cloud, etc) or geographies, automatically resolving discrepancies such as SSG licenses, IP addresses, IT resources (i.e., LDAPs may be named differently), etc
| | Services Reporting | - Configurable, out-of-the-box reports provide insight into SSG operations, service-level performance, and service user experience
| | Remote Patching | - Selectively update any software installed on Gateways, including system files and operating system
| | Disaster Recovery | - Centrally back up SSG config files and policies from one or more Gateways/clusters, and remotely restore, enabling full disaster recovery
| | Management API | - Remote management APIs allow customers to hook their existing, third-party management tools into the SSG, simplifying asset management
| | Supported Standards | | XML 1.0, SOAP 1.2, REST, AJAX, XPath 1.0, XSLT 1.0, WSDL 1.1, XML Schema, LDAP 3.0, SAML 1.1/2.0, PKCS #10, X.509 v3 Certificates, FIPS 140-2, Kerberos, W3C XML Signature 1.0, W3C XML Encryption 1.0, SSL/TLS 3.0/1.1, SNMP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP4, HTTP/HTTPS, JMS 1.0, MQ Series, Tibco EMS, FTP, WS-Security 1.1, WS-Trust 1.0, WS-Federation, WS-Addressing, WSSecureConversation, WS-MetadataExchange, WS-Policy, WS-SecurityPolicy, WS-PolicyAttachment, WS-SecureExchange, WSIL, WS-I, WS-I BSP, UDDI 3.0, XACML 2.0, MTOM | Share: | More | | |
