Summary

The only guide to using IBM WebSphere DataPower appliances to simplify, secure, and accelerate the deployment of SOA and Web services.  Authoritative information and guidance from IBM technical experts who specialize in enterprise DataPower appliance deployments.  Covers every facet of DataPower implementation and usage: networking, integration, services, management, custom programming, and more.  A complete technical reference and hands-on how-to guide for architects, administrators, and security specialists. IBM WebSphere DataPower appliances are specialized devices designed to simplify SOA deployment, strengthen SOA security, enhance SOA performance, and increase SOA return on investment. In this book, a team of IBM experts show IT professionals how to make the most of DataPower SOA appliances in any IT environment. This book brings together official IBM information that is available nowhere else. The authors begin by introducing the rationale for SOA appliances, and explaining how DataPower appliances work from network, security, and Enterprise Software Bus perspectives. They walk through DataPower installation and configuration; then present deep detail on DataPower's role and use as a network device. The authors present extensive coverage of the services available on DataPower devices, especially the 'big three': XML Firewall, Web Service Proxy, and Multi-Protocol Gateway. Next, they turn to management: day-to-day administration, monitoring, configuration build and deploy techniques, logging, auditing, and more. The book contains a full section on custom programming for DataPower appliances, as well as practical guidance for identifying and resolving problems.
