Network Device; Solution Offers Enterprise Architects Advanced Security, Control and Scalability Blue Titan Software, Inc. and DataPower Technology, Inc. today announced a joint solution for companies building out service-oriented architectures See SOA. that enables them to secure and control current service-based applications while providing a best-in-class shared infrastructure for scaling to an enterprise-class SOA. This first-of-its-kind solution combines Blue Titan Network Director(TM), with the hardware-based DataPower XS40 XML Security Gateway(TM) -- enabling enterprise architects to establish a flexible, pragmatic architecture capable of unifying Web services projects without stalling ongoing development. It also ensures that the solutions deployed today will effectively scale to meet a future enterprise-wide service-oriented architecture (SOA). Today, Blue Titan Network Director and DataPower XS40 are fully interoperable as an integrated joint solution. This summer, the products' Web service-based management interfaces will be fully integrated, and a single, fully integrated device is planned for the end of 2004. The joint solution has already been deployed at one Global 50 company, and is scheduled for deployment at several Fortune 500 companies. "The partnership between Blue Titan and DataPower makes it easier for companies to roll out the required control and security infrastructure needed to realize an SOA," said Tom Rhinelander, analyst with New Rowley Group. "And importantly, the partners allow companies to invest in and implement solutions incrementally and according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. business -- not vendor or IT -- needs." Companies aggressively adopting XML and Web services technologies for application development and integration face short-term security and application performance challenges created when exchanging data over open protocols such as SOAP, XML and HTTP HTTP in full HyperText Transfer Protocol Standard application-level protocol used for exchanging files on the World Wide Web. HTTP runs on top of the TCP/IP protocol. , as well as issues associated with deploying solutions that will grow with the increasing demands of a future SOA. This joint solution combines the Blue Titan Network Director and DataPower XS40 XML Security Gateway into a single holistic SOAP networking solution that can be shared by services and applications across the enterprise. Network Director's Web service command and control infrastructure is provided in tandem Adv. 1. in tandem - one behind the other; "ride tandem on a bicycle built for two"; "riding horses down the path in tandem" tandem with the DataPower XS40's high-speed XML Web service security processing capabilities to offer wire-speed Web service security and policy-directed control for distributed Enterprise SOAs. "The broad adoption of XML and Web services evidences the fundamental change in how data, applications and business processes are accessed, shared, integrated and reused," said Frank Martinez, CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization. See CIO and salary survey. and Chairman of Blue Titan. "Blue Titan and DataPower together provide a transition from contemporary, monolithic IT infrastructures to emerging loosely coupled See loose coupling. , XML-aware networks, allowing Enterprise Architects to leverage existing IT constructs and incrementally scale out with network requirements." "Blue Titan and DataPower provide distinct but complementary areas of technology expertise," said Eugene Kuznetsov, CTO and Chairman of DataPower. "DataPower's leadership position has enabled us to pursue our open 'integration for management' strategy. Instead of shoe-horning Web services control and management functions into DataPower XS40 or XML security functions in Blue Titan Network Director, we chose to partner."
