Enterprise class XML network management products



Policy Studio is an intuitive drag and drop interface for the creation and provisioning of SOA control policies that is the most advanced design available on the market today.

Shipped with Vordel XML Gateway and Vordel Policy Director, the Policy Studio uses a "circuits" metaphor for creating sophisticated policies to manage XML traffic.

  • Quickly and painlessly create sophisticated policies to manage XML traffic
  • Significantly more powerful and easier to use than competing wizard-based products
  • No complicated configuration of lines of XML or XSLT code

In the screenshot below, notice how the drawing canvas in the center of the screen allows sophisticated rules to be created. Individual filters are dragged from the right-hand-side of the screen onto the center canvas, and are joined together using "success paths" (green lines) and "failure paths" (red lines).

Centralized management of all XML Gateways and XML Firewalls across an application oriented network

  • Single holistic view of all Web Services security and management infrastructure
  • Centrally define policies that govern Web Service operations (such as access policy, logging policy, and load balancing),
  • Easy to migrate policies from testing and development XML Gateways to production machines

Quickly and efficiently disseminate new policies to a multitude of network points from a single centralized management point. As the volume of XML traffic increases on your network and the instances of security and management products increase, the Policy Studio centralized management interface gives you ease of mind need to be able to manage in an efficient manner without sacrificing performance, scalability, and reliability.
