GLUECODE SELECTS DATAPOWER TO DELIVER INDUSTRY'S MOST SCALABLE XML
PORTAL SOLUTION

DataPower XA35 XML Accelerator Supercharges Gluecode's Foundation Server
to Provide an Enterprise-class Portal Framework with Breakthrough
Performance and Price

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and LOS ANGELES, Calif.-March 10, 2003 - DataPower
Technology, Inc., the leading provider of intelligent XML-aware network
infrastructure and Gluecode Software, the leading provider of business
automation software, today announced that Gluecode has selected
DataPower as a key technology partner.  Gluecode will integrate the
DataPower XA35 XML AcceleratorT with the Gluecode Portal Foundation
Server, bringing to market a standards-based solution that provides
enterprises with the first high-performance, enterprise-class
alternative to complex proprietary and high-cost portal solutions.

Portals today are mission-critical tools that rely extensively on XML
for sharing and integrating dynamic content from traditional
applications and for consuming Web services to provide added
functionality.  Yet leading research firms note that for many portal
customers, performance is a recurring problem when scaling the
application to more constituents and with new information sources.   The
Gluecode and DataPower technology partnership provides the first
solution to successfully address this problem.  Gluecode Portal
Foundation Server is a Java-based portal framework that enables
companies to easily build, deploy, and maintain enterprise portals at a
significantly reduced cost.  Utilizing DataPower's patent-pending XG3T
technology providing the world's fastest XML processing available,
Gluecode's integration with the XA35 solves the problem of scaling
portal users and content while significantly reducing server
infrastructure costs.

"Two main problems afflict nearly every portal application deployed
today: performance and ease of use.  With our XA35, Gluecode's Portal
Foundation Server now enables enterprises to quickly and easily deploy
sophisticated portal functionality without any performance degradation
or issues of scaling users or content," said Larry D'Angelo, vice
president of sales at DataPower.  "Today's announced partnership has
produced a turnkey portal solution that shatters the price and
performance constraints that are the norm for proprietary portal
products."

"Gluecode's enablement of real-time business response hinges on our
ability to deliver content efficiently," said Winston Damarillo, CEO of
Gluecode.  "Our partnership with DataPower gives us a clear competitive
advantage over alternative portal offerings by bringing us superior
performance in delivering XML content and Web services while maintaining
the lowest total cost of ownership.  Moreover, as customers aggressively
move towards emerging standards such as OASIS' WSRP (Web Services for
Remote Portals) and WSIA (Web Services for Interactive Applications),
DataPower enables Gluecode to bypass the performance issues associated
with these standards and accelerate our time to market."

Gluecode Portal Foundation Server is the most broadly distributed portal
framework today, with an audience reach of over 400,000 users through
distribution relationships with Redhat and the JBoss application server.
Gluecode provides the backbone for business automation through dynamic
content processing and workflow within the portal.  Traditionally,
companies have relied on resource-intensive, batch pre-processing of
data in an external application, which often results in dated, obsolete
information being presented in the portal.  The Portal Foundation Server
significantly reduces latency by assembling raw content feeds from
heterogeneous data sources, including XML, SOAP, JSP, and JDBC, and
performing single-step XSL transformations in real-time to deliver
personalized applications.  Users are empowered with the latest
information, and can respond quickly by using the Portal Foundation
Server to execute business processes, and to communicate effectively
with partners, customers, and employees.
