DataPower(R), the most widely deployed provider of carrier-grade XML-aware network devices, announced today that the DataPower's XS40 XML Security Gateway was selected by T-Mobile to provide robust Web service security gateway capabilities, including XML threat protection, schema validation, XML Web services access control, authorization and authentication. DataPower was chosen after careful evaluation and testing for robust Web services security features, system reliability and performance.
Critical to T-Mobile's decision were DataPower's unique, application-oriented networking capabilities stemming from DataPower's purpose-built network device architecture and engineering. By offloading XML, SOAP and Web services processing into a drop-in network device, DataPower provides critical Web service-enabling capabilities as highly reliable and scalable network services including XML threat protection, virus scanning and XDoS protection; high-speed policy enforcement for Web service access control; carrier-grade reliability; and XML/SOAP routing. As a true network device that is easy to install, operate, update and maintain, DataPower's XS40 enables these services with significantly reduced operational complexity and overall cost over software and software-based server appliances.
