Application Level Networking
Vordel XML Gateway provides governance, acceleration, integration, and security for SOA and Cloud Computing. It is available as an appliance, as software, in the cloud or as a virtual appliance.
Integration Vordel XML Gateway links together products from CA, Oracle, IBM , TIBCO, Sun and Microsoft. Don’t waste time coding your own solution – use a proven dependable highly extensible product which can be configured in minutes.
Acceleration Vordel XML Gateway accelerates system performance using the Vordel XML Acceleration Engine. Patent protected XML Processing technology crunches through XML while selective caching of message and application content reduces system overhead. Applications run faster and are less susceptible to traffic spikes.
Governance Vordel XML Gateway applies policy to services controlling usage and availability and enabling organizations to deploy services in confidence. Vordel XML Gateway provides Access Control, Traffic Control and Service Level Enforcement. Transactions and configuration changes are stored in secured non reputable logs to aid compliance.
Security Vordel XML Gateway protects your SOA against malicious traffic and controls access to your services. It is built from the ground up to provide a security layer to Web Services. Don’t leave your valuable services open to attack!

Features & Benefits
Processing Offload for Application Acceleration- Offload the heavy-lifting of XML from application servers and onto the network. This frees up resources on application servers and allows applications to run faster.
Vordel XML Gateway incorporates the core VXA acceleration engine
- Ensure XML processing does not become bottleneck for speedy throughput of XML traffic
- Permit key processor-intensive tasks to be taken off application servers and run on XML gateway
- Overcome any latency issues with optimized throughput of XML traffic
Cryptographic acceleration hardware is also embedded in the device
- Optimize acceleration of SSL processing and provide for acceleration of XML encryption
Ease of Deployment
Pre-hardened with no need for detailed software configuration- Easy to deploy in a fast and efficient manner
No need to configure Lines of XSLT or XML code
- Quick implementation of policies and get protection for Web Services up and running fast
Staging with software, production with hardware
- Reduce and contain software development and maintenance costs. Remove the need for hard-coding every time security policies are created or updated
Import policies as XML files
- Minimize time for replication of policies across multiple devices
- Ease transition from staging to production system
Generate certificates and private keys on-board
- Accelerate time to deployment
Tool to generate XML Schema Definition (XSD) files from sample XML messages.
- State-of-the-art Policy Management tool
- Improves IT productivity by easing creation of sophisticated policies to manage XML traffic.
- More powerful and easier to use than competing products.
- Removes any need for configuration of lines of XML or XSLT code.
Out of the box security
Identity Management- Increase the returns on existing IT infrastructure assets through re-use of data and policies stored in existing security infrastructure Network management platforms
- Leverage directory, certificate, and policy server infrastructure
- Ensure only authenticated and authorized usage of Web Services
Comprehensive threat prevention
- Protect XML systems from malicious data and unwarranted attack.
XML Schema formatting (conformance with XML Schemas, WS-I Basic Profile)
- Validate content against prescribed schemas and avoid potential failure of target Web Services and ultimately business processes.
Archived evidential audit trail and monitoring of all transactions
- Compliance with corporate and industry regulatory framework requirements by protecting the integrity, privacy and security of critical information.
Security for all flavors of XML applications
- Facilitate greater ease of deployment with protection for multiple classes of XML applications including SOAP, Plain XML and REST.
Blacklisting with Network Firewalls
- Isolate external IP sources of threats and prevent from future attacks
Security Mediation between different authentication systems
- Federation of security context across different security domains
- Increased choice of security environments to integrate with impacting on roll out
- Save on security integration coding costs
- Leverage existing security investments
Security as a service - samples include:- Token issuance - Digital signing - Authorization
- Simplify security implementation for business processes can with standards based Vordel security infrastructure
- Ease roll out of new products to partners and customers without impacting on their security infrastructures
XML Gateway for Management
Application-Level Networking(routing, transformations etc)- Route based on sender identity and content
- Ensure XML messages are sent to the appropriate application.
Service Virtualization
- Shield end point Web Services from direct access providing increased protection from external clients
XML Data Enrichment
- Automatically populate content in XML documents from sources such as databases.
- By putting this functionality onto XML Networking infrastructure, the information is automatically populated into the XML messages before they reach the consuming Web Services.
- This simplifies and accelerates applications in ESBs or Application Servers.
Message Throttling
- Protect Web Services from traffic spikes, by smoothing out the traffic. Enforce usage limit per client according to service usage agreements.
Fine-grained control of Web Services:- Wide range of alerting options Fine-grained logging, on a per-function basis Role-based Access Control for Web Services
- Enhanced Web Services management functionality provides ever greater degrees of control for IT management
- Allowing users to be authorized based on roles which have been retrieved either from Vordel's own user store, from a database, from a directory, or from a SAML authority.
Tamper-proof audit trail for all transactions.
Name encryption- Keep track of who is using applications
- Comply with regulatory and corporate governance requirements for evidential transaction audit trail.
- Meet privacy protection requirements
Interoperability
Support for wide range SOA platforms:Microsoft .NET
BEA WebLogic/AquaLogic
IBM WebSphere
SAP NetWeaver
- Vendor neutral policies
- Smooth interoperability problems between platforms.
Identity Mediation
- Support for wide range of different identity schemes ensures speed of set-up and avoids costly security integration coding.
- Easily convert between username/passwords, SAML, certificates, etc.
Open, interoperable standards-based framework
Support for wide range of standards including SSL, WS-Security, WS-Trust XML, SOAP, and SAML 2.0.- Future proofs your XML Security investment by providing ongoing support for all key security standards as they emerge and evolve.
