As a core offering in the IBM ESB product portfolio, the XI50 is a purpose-built hardware ESB for simplified deployment and hardened security with the ability to quickly transform data between a wide variety of formats, including XML, legacy, industry standards, and custom formats. The XI50 provides core ESB functionality, including routing, bridging, transformation, and event handling. The XI50 provides a reliable, performance-oriented solution to many integration challenges. Because it is not limited to handling just XML, the XI50 resonates with IT organizations that need to benefit from the connectivity of SOA deployments but must also deal with their current reality of managing multiple proprietary, industry, company-specific, or legacy data formats. The XI50 is a true drop-in integration point for such environments, helping to reduce the time and cost of integrations, and speed the time-to-market for services.
- Innovative XML and Web-services enablement of legacy infrastructure
For accelerated, security-rich integration capabilities, the XI50 provides transport mediation, routing, and transformations among binary, text, and XML message formats. Visual tools can be used to describe data formats, create mappings between different formats, and define message flows. With native connectivity to DB2 and System z®, the XI50 offers an innovative solution for security-rich XML enablement of legacy systems, as well as mainframe connectivity.
- Policy-driven approach to Web services management and SOA governance
By centralizing Web services management tasks and policy enforcement and decoupling them from applications, the XI50 increases your SOA infrastructure's flexibility and scalability while simultaneously offering you improved insight, visibility, and control. Moving functions such as access control, Web services management, security, and policy enforcement onto the XI50 means that IT architects and operations, security, and business personnel can decouple these functions from the core business applications, simplifying development, deployment, and manageability.
- Integration with registry and repository, security, identity, and service
management software
The XI50 integrates with a variety of registry and repository, security, identity, and service management software applications. Coupled with access control software such as IBM Tivoli Access Manager, the XI50 enforces fine-grained access controls. Working with the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager, the XI50 provides federated Web services identity, and policy management between organizations and enterprises. Integrated with IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for SOA, the XI50 monitors Web service and SOA traffic flows for end-to-end service management and dashboard monitoring. Using a registry and repository such as WebSphere Registry and Repository can help you discover and reuse services and configure new services for DataPower policy and security enforcement. The combination of these applications and the robust XI50 security features provides the comprehensive capabilities for SOA security and Web services management that enterprises increasingly require.
- Advanced Web services standards support and interoperability
IBM recognizes that SOA must address the need to integrate heterogeneous environments both within and outside the enterprise. The WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliance portfolio has a long-standing history of support for key and advanced standards, including WS-Security, WS-Policy, WS-ReliableMessaging, Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), Web Services Distributed Management (WSDM), WS-I Profiles, WS-Addressing, eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML), Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), Secure Socket Layer (SSL), and proprietary single sign-on (SSO) tokens. Additional third-party interoperability capabilities include Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) registries, and such databases as Oracle and Sybase.
- Integration across the IBM SOA foundation for smart SOA deployments
The XI50 has broad and deep integration across the IBM SOA foundation. Integration with popular integrated development environments such as the IBM Rational® portfolio helps reduce the time you spend in development and debugging. In addition to interoperability, the XI50 also features deep integration with products such as WebSphere MQ, WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, WebSphere Message Broker, and DB2 to help process SOA transactions in a faster, more secure and simplified way. Additionally, the XI50 enables you to take advantage of the IBM autonomic computing self-management capabilities, creating infrastructures that require minimal intervention, which helps lower cost of ownership and improves service availability.
IBM WebSphere DataPower XML Security Gateway XS40
The XS40 appliance provides a security-enforcement point for XML and Web services transactions, including encryption, firewall filtering, digital signatures, schema validation, WS-Security, XML access control, XPath, and detailed logging. The XS40 includes:
- Centralized policy management and enforcement
The XS40's outstanding performance enables enterprises to centralize security functions in a single drop-in device that enhances security and reduces ongoing maintenance costs. Simple firewall and Web services proxy functionality can be configured via a Web GUI and run in minutes, or, using the power of XSLT, the XS40 can also create sophisticated security and routing rules. Combining integration with leading policy managers and service registries and support for such standards as WS-Security, WS-SecurityPolicy, WS-ReliableMessaging, and WS-Policy, the XS40 is an ideal policy enforcement and execution engine for securing next-generation applications. Managed locally or remotely, the XS40 supports SNMP, script-based configuration, and remote logging to integrate seamlessly with leading management software.
- XML/SOAP firewall
The XS40 filters traffic at wirespeed, based on information from protocol stack layers 2 through 7, from field-level message content and SOAP envelopes to IP address, port and hostname, payload size, or other metadata. Filters can be predefined and automatically uploaded to change security policies based on time of day or other triggers.
- Field-level XML security
The XS40 selectively shares information through encryption/decryption and signing/verification of entire messages or of individual XML fields. These granular and conditional security policies can be based on nearly any variable, including content, IP address, hostname, or other user-defined filters.
- XML Web Services access control
The XS40 supports a variety of access control mechanisms, including XACML, Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), SSL, LDAP, RADIUS, and simple client/URL maps. The XS40 can control access rights by rejecting unsigned messages and verifying signatures within SAML assertions.
- Service virtualization
XML Web Services require companies to link partners to resources without leaking information about their location or configuration. With the combined power of URL rewriting, high-performance XSL transforms, and XML/SOAP routing, the XS40 can transparently map a rich set of services to protected back-end resources with high performance.
- Data validation
With its unique ability to perform XML Schema validation as well as message validation at wirespeed, the XS40 ensures incoming and outgoing XML documents are legitimate and properly structured. This protects against threats such as XML Denial of Service (XDoS) attacks, buffer overflows, or vulnerabilities created by deliberately or inadvertently malformed XML documents.
- SSL acceleration
The XS40 scales transport layer security by accelerating bidirectional/mutual SSL transactions in hardware. The XS40 can be configured with multiple SSL identities functioning as client or server, with SSL policies based on message content or metadata such as port number or HTTP header.
IBM WebSphere DataPower XML Accelerator XA35
The XA35 can help speed common types of XML processing by offloading this processing from servers and networks. It can perform XML parsing, XML Schema validation, XPath routing, Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT), XML compression, and other essential XML processing with wirespeed XML performance.
The XA35 offers:
- Outstanding performance: DataPower's purpose-built message processing engine can deliver wirespeed performance for both XML to XML and XML to HTML transformations with increased throughput and decreased latency.
- Ease of use: The self-learning XA35 provides drop-in acceleration with virtually no changes to the network or application software. No proprietary schemas, coding, or APIs are required to install or manage the device and it supports popular XML Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) to help reduce the number of hours spent in the development and debugging of XML applications.
- Help in reducing infrastructure costs: Unlike simple content switches that only redirect business documents, the DataPower XML Accelerator XA35 fully parses, processes, and transforms XML with wirespeed performance and scalability to help reduce the need for stacks of servers. The XA35 also supports accelerated SSL processing to help further lessen the load on server software.
- Help in cutting development costs: The XA35 can enable multiple applications to leverage a single, uniformed XML processing layer for all XML processing needs. By standardizing on high-performance hardware appliances, enterprises can deploy sophisticated applications while helping to eliminate unnecessary hours of application debugging and tuning for marginal performance gains.
- Intelligent XML processing: In addition to wirespeed processing, DataPower appliances support XML routing, XML pipeline processing, XML compression, XML/XSL caching, as well as other intelligent processing capabilities to help manage XML traffic.
- Advanced management: The DataPower XML Accelerator XA35 provides real-time visibility into critical XML statistics such as throughput, transaction counts, errors, and other processing statistics. Data network level analysis is provided, and includes server health information and traffic statistics, as well as management and configuration data.

Planning information
Customer responsibilities
This product is designated for customer setup. Customer setup instructions are shipped with the product.
Cable orders
Each 9235 appliance contains four Gigabit Ethernet connections. The RJ-45 connectors provide a 10/100/1000 Base-T interface (either at half-duplex or full-duplex) for connecting twisted-pair cable to the Ethernet network. Cabling is not included with the appliance. To connect the Ethernet controller to a repeater or switch, use an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. For 100 Mbps or higher operation, Category 5 cabling must be used. For 10 Mbps operation, Category 3, or better cabling, must be used.
Each 9235 appliance contains a single RS-232c serial port connection. The male DB-9 connector provides a 9600 baud asynchronous serial interface for connecting a serial cable to a console terminal (typically a terminal emulator running on an IBM PC). A 6 foot long "NULL modem" cable, with two female DB-9 connectors, is provided with the appliance for this purpose. The terminal's serial parameters should be set to 9600 baud, no parity, 1 stop bit, XON/XOFF handshaking.
Installability
Each 9235 series appliance requires approximately 30 minutes for installation. Installation includes unpacking, rack-mounting, connecting network and console cables, and powering on the system. Additional time is required to configure the software.
