Blue Titan and DataPower Offer Joint Solution

Enterprise Networks & Servers, Mar 2004

Blue Titan Software and DataPower Technology are coming up with a joint solution for companies building out service-oriented architectures (SOAs) that enables them to secure and control current service-based applications while providing a shared infrastructure for scaling to an enterprise-class SOA.

This first-of-its-kind solution combines Blue Titan Network Director with the hardware-based DataPower XS40 XML Security Gateway, enabling enterprise architects to establish a flexible architecture capable of unifying Web services projects without stalling ongoing development.

Blue Titan Network Director and DataPower XS40 are fully interoperable as an integrated joint solution. This summer the products' Web service-based management interfaces will be fully integrated, and a single, fully integrated device is planned for the end of 2004. The joint solution has already been deployed at one Global 50 company, and is scheduled for deployment at several Fortune 500 companies.

"The partnership between Blue Titan and DataPower makes it easier for companies to roll out the required control and security infrastructure needed to realize an SOA," said Tom Rhinelander, analyst with New Rowley Group. "And importantly, the partners allow companies to invest in and implement solutions incrementally and according to business - not vendor or IT - needs."
