SecureSpan™ XML Accelerator
The SecureSpan™ XML Accelerator offloads extremely processor-intensive XML parsing, validation and transformation operations from application servers, database servers and Enterprise Service Buses (ESB). The XML Accelerator appliance is specifically designed to accelerate XML message throughput and reduce the latency associated with processing all common XML message formats including POX, SOAP, REST and AJAX.
The SecureSpan XML Accelerator can be configured to validate XML documents against an acceptable predefined schema, probe XML data for specific content or values and transform documents from one version to another. Control over message processing operations is through intuitive SecureSpan policies, which provide visual tools to navigate XML structures and quickly define message queries or transforms. Messages can be examined for specific content or context and routed to specific endpoints or returned to requestors after processing. All complex XML message processing is performed in onboard ASIC-based hardware accelerators to maximize message throughput and minimize processing latency.
The SecureSpan XML Accelerator is available as a linearly scalable, high performance 64-bit, multi-processor, 1U appliance with onboard XML acceleration and optional SSL accelerator. Deployment options include acting as an XML co-processor for a network of XML applications in a data center or as XML offload for an ESB. All operations on the SecureSpan XML Accelerator can be configured independently for inbound and outbound traffic.
To future proof customers against changing requirements, the SecureSpan XML Accelerator is software upgradeable to the SecureSpan XML Data Screen, XML Firewall and VPN or XML Networking Gateway.

Joint Webinar with Layer 7 and Sun: Identity Driven SOA Governance - Best Practices - Podcast Featuring The Burton Group
Digital Identity is at the heart of the modern business ecosystem. However, governing SOA interactions - particularly across a distributed or federated environment - creates complexity not found in typical user-machine exchanges. Separating policy creation and enforcement from service implementation can simplify SOA governance without compromising scalability, flexibility and auditability - accommodating even the most elaborate, heterogeneous IT landscapes. This Webinar will review best practices for building and operating a policy-centered, identity-driven SOA.
A Practical Guide to Policy Authoring for SOA Governance
This Webcast, presented by Layer 7 CTO and WS-Policy co-editor, Dr. Toufic Boubez, will cover how to declaratively *define SOA Policy for SOA Governance applications.* Consistent, standards based policy definition is the first step in implementing an SOA Governance framework.
Policy-Driven SOA – the New Contract for Architecture
The promise of SOA is in delivering flexible, loosely-coupled systems. In order to achieve this, contracts, requirement and capabilities need to be defined and automated through a declarative and manageable mechanism. This required level of abstraction for SOA sits at the Policy level. This talk will introduce the concept of Policy Driven SOA and discuss Policy and the WS-Policy specification as the new contract abstraction for SOA.
