DataPower Replacement Program

IBM WebSphere DataPower customers are often surprised to find that the Support and Maintenance they’ve been paying does not entitle them to the latest hardware platform. Even more surprising is the fact that there is no migration path – the previous configuration must be re-implemented from scratch on the new appliance. The cost of such a “forklift upgrade” quickly adds up:

  • $$ to repurchase the appliance
  • $$ to re-implement the configuration and policies
  • $$ to re-train on new system usage and administration
In contrast, Layer 7 XML Gateways offer:
  • A straightforward, do-it-yourself migration path between hardware platforms
  • Replacement hardware that can be purchased for a nominal fee
  • No need to return the old hardware, which can be re-purposed for general use

For a limited time, those DataPower customers that take advantage of the Replacement Program to swap their existing appliances for equivalent Layer 7 SecureSpan Gateways will receive the new appliances at a steeply discounted rate. As a result, not only is total cost of ownership dramatically lower, but the initial purchase price is significantly less expensive than a DataPower hardware refresh.
