IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances is a family of pre-built, pre-configured rack-mountable network devices (XML appliances) that can help accelerate XML and Web Services deployments while extending SOA infrastructure. Originally these devices were created by DataPower Technology Inc., which was acquired by IBM in October 2005.[1]
This WebSphere family consists of rack-mountable network appliances, blade appliances, appliances that rack inside a z/OSmainframe, and virtual appliances. The appliances are designed to scale to meet the demands of growing organizations, with options for high availability and clustering for increased performance and reliability. DataPower SOA Appliances can be integrated with other IBM middleware products, such as WebSphere Application Server.
DataPower Appliances operate a single digitally signed firmware containing a Linux-based operating system and application stack. Its firmware runs on a flash storage device. IBM updates the firmware image every 10–20 weeks. Users cannot run third-party applications on DataPower as they would need a traditional server and operating system. Instead of a traditional filesystem, it runs with a collection of isolated virtual file systems called 'Application Domains'. As a result, it can appear to its client connections to be any type of network file system with any type of folders and links.
DataPower firmware is mostly used to perform electronic messaging functions, like transformation and routing of messages as an enterprise service bus or to protect web services interfaces and the architecture behind them. It helps to integrate any two applications by considering them as services, and is platform and language independent.
