Description
Maximize performance and availability while scaling simply and cost-
effectively
Today's dynamic business environments and economic uncertainty mean
organizations must work smarter to remain competitive and responsive to changing
customer demands. Key to working smarter is business agility and cost optimization.
Our planet is becoming increasingly smart and interconnected. As more people
around the planet join the digital world, they drive exponential growth of business
and non-business transactions for everything from Web commerce and RFID
processing in dynamic supply chains to on-line banking and social networking.
In order to meet these demands, you need to ensure that critical applications
experiencing huge demand levels, and requiring immediate response times, can
satisfy those criteria.
The DataPower XC10 appliance is a purpose-built, easy-to-use unit designed for
simplified deployment, exceptional performance, and hardened security at the
caching tier of your enterprise application infrastructure. It incorporates and builds
upon the IBM DataPower line of appliances from IBM, adding distributed caching
functions that enable your business-critical applications to scale cost effectively with
consistent performance.
The DataPower XC10 appliance is designed for simple installation and use with
WebSphere Application ServerV6.1 and V7.0, where it can deliver a cost-effective
distributed caching solution in support of common distributed caching scenarios
like HTTP Session Replication, getting better performance and scalability from the
Dynamic Cache Service of WebSphere Application Server. With minimal application
code changes, the DataPower XC10 appliance can also provide an easy to use Web
side-cache accessed via a network connection.
HTTP session replication
The WebSphere DataPower XC10 appliance can provide the quickest, least invasive
option for handling HTTP session management, so that costly application changes
are not needed. This specialized, purpose-built, appliance can bring a number of
benefits including higher qualities of service across scenarios spanning application
server cell boundaries and even heterogenous application server environments.
