| Description |
|
Emerging technology trends, like mobile and API management, allow businesses to expand the scope of valuable IT assets to new channels and use cases. These shifts in technology enable businesses to reach consumers, business partners, and clients anywhere in the world at any time. These new opportunities require the enterprise to accommodate additional security capabilities, access controls, and to manage the exponential growth in application traffic.
DataPower Gateway is the new name of a consolidated product that utilizes an extensible and modular architecture that offers the functionality provided by three existing products, namely WebSphere DataPower Service Gateway XG45, WebSphere DataPower Integration Appliance XI52 and WebSphere DataPower B2B Appliance XB62, in a single consolidated product through optional software modules on both physical and virtual form factors.
The modular design that is used by the new DataPower Gateway appliance provides existing DataPower Service Gateway XG45 functionality as the base product and Integration Appliance XI52 and B2B Appliance XB62 capabilities as optional software modules.
The DataPower Gateway physical appliance form factor includes:
- Purpose-built, DMZ-ready, 2U high-density rack mount design
- Latest-generation, high performance hardware technology that is designed to provide increased capacity, performance, flexibility, and serviceability compared to its predecessors
- Hardware cryptography accelerator card to improve performance of both transport, secure sockets layer (SSL) or transport layer security (TLS), and message level security processing

| Statement of good security practices |
|
IT system security involves protecting systems and information through prevention, detection, and response to improper access from within and outside your enterprise. Improper access can result in information being altered, destroyed, or misappropriated or can result in misuse of your systems to attack others. Without a comprehensive approach to security, no IT system or product should be considered completely secure and no single product or security measure can be completely effective in preventing improper access. IBM systems and products are designed to be part of a comprehensive security approach, which will necessarily involve additional operational procedures, and may require other systems, products, or services to be most effective. IBM does not warrant that systems and products are immune from the malicious or illegal conduct of any party.
