VordelSecure receives Ready for Tivoli accreditation
Vordel's XML security server enables companies to extend functionality of IBM security management solution

July 16, 2003 - Dublin, Ireland - Vordel announced today that its XML security server, VordelSecure, has been certified "Ready for Tivoli" by IBM. This means that companies can now use VordelSecure to extend Tivoli software's security management functionality to include the XML and SOAP security vital to modern business integration.

VordelSecure is a scalable, platform-independent, and standards-compliant XML security server, which addresses the security challenges posed by XML-based communications. In addition to compatibility with Tivoli software, VordelSecure provides support for the latest version of the WebSphere application server as well as integrating with other application servers, including Microsoft .NET.

Vic Morris, CEO of Vordel, said that the accreditation from IBM "will benefit customers in two ways". "By adding VordelSecure's XML security and management capabilities to IBM's comprehensive security management solutions," Morris said, "we can help businesses to leverage their existing investment in Tivoli software. Companies will now be able to simply and easily integrate XML and Web Services with their current Tivoli-based security infrastructure."

Morris went on to say that companies looking for a comprehensive security management solution are assured that, when making the choice to purchase Tivoli software, "there is an XML security component that is fully compatible with their buying decision - VordelSecure".

Vordel is a member of PartnerWorld for Developers and is an IBM Business Partner.
