IBM WebSphereDataPower SOA Appliances are purpose-built,
easy-to-deploy network devices that simplify, help secure, and accelerate your
XML and Web services deployments while extending your SOA infrastructure.
For security we have – Firewalls, Virus Scanners, Proxy Servers
etc. Then we have Mainframes, Databases, server clusters where services are
hosted. Also there will be a server that is used for authentication. Given all
these h/w and software, the cost to install, configure, maintain and operate
any of these components are going to be huge. Not to mention that we have XML,
Copybook, flatfile and databases. This would need data-transformations.
Additional cost on h/w and s/w for that.
