For Immediate Release ALTOVA AND DATAPOWER TEAM TO DELIVER UNPRECEDENTED AGILITY FOR XML WEB SERVICES SECURITY XMLSPY 5 Integrates with XS40 XML Security Gateway to Deliver First Ever XML Development Environment for Configuration of Web Services Security Policies BEVERLY, Mass. and CAMBRIDGE, Mass.- March 17, 2003 - DataPower Technology, Inc. (http://www.datapower.com), the leading provider of intelligent XML-aware network infrastructure, and Altova, Inc. (http://www.altova.com), a leading provider of XML software tools solutions, today announced the availability of XMLSPY 5 integrated with the Datapower XS40 XML Security Gateway(tm). The unified solution addresses enterprise the need for centralized XML Web Services security without forcing application developers to alter pre-existing design and deployment practices in any way. Altova's XMLSPY is the world's leading XML development tool set with over 90% market share for XML development environments. The XMLSPY 5 XML development environment provides visual design, development and debugging for all types of XML documents including XML schema, XSLT, SOAP and WSDL, making it a preferred choice for the design of XML and XML Web Services applications. DataPower's XS40 is an XML security gateway that leverages patent-pending XG3 technology to deliver processing power not available in any other XML engine. This performance advantage provides superior levels of security for XML Web services, including XML filtering, schema validation, XML Encryption, XML Signature, WS-Security and other functions, all of which require extensive XML processing. "XML Web Services security crosses both the network and the application domains," said Alexander Falk, President and CEO at Altova, Inc. "DataPower's support for XMLSPY 5 provides our customers with the ability to centralize security policies in a wirespeed network device without having to write new code or learn a new tool. Through this integration, the same XML files that are created and edited with XMLSPY 5 can be seamlessly harnessed by the XS40 to provide sophisticated security functionality." With the integration of XMLSPY 5 and the XS40, enterprises can now substantially reduce the time it takes to secure and launch applications into deployment. While many application developers provide security functions deep within an application, many enterprises are centralizing XML Web services security in security gateways that allow a network operations group to secure and monitor multiple applications simultaneously. Security policies within the DataPower XS40 are completely XML-based so that developers can quickly and easily use existing XML Schema, WSDL and other XML application files to assign filtering rules, access control and overall policy management. The performance of the XS40 is complemented by an industry leading XML-centric architecture - only DataPower utilizes flexible XML-based security policies within a hardware device that can be easily augmented with a quick stylesheet or configuration change so that enterprises can adapt easily to emerging standards or initiate new security practices, essentially future-proofing their applications security. Using XMLSPY 5 and the XS40 enterprises can for the first time centralize XML Web Services security functions in a drop-in, reliable network device while all security policies and access control are handled from an interface familiar to application developers. "DataPower continues to deliver on its vision of XML-Aware networking with the industry's first-ever XML Development Environment-based control of XML Web services security policies. Using XMLSPY 5, sophisticated developers can continue to configure and update security policies in well-understood formats such as WSDL while policy execution is handled quickly and securely by a purpose-built network device," said Eugene Kuznetsov, founder, president and CTO of DataPower Technology. "This partnership represents DataPower and Altova's vision and understanding that comprehensive XML Web Services security takes both the network and the application into account." Altova and DataPower Technology will be exhibiting at Web Services Edge East in Boston on March 19 and 20th in Booth#115 and #417 respectively. Availability and Pricing XMLSPY 5 and XS40 as integrated solution is available immediately. By installing a software plug-in, developers using XMLSPY 5 are able to select the DataPower XS40 from a pull down menu of XML processors. The plug-in is available from DataPower as an executable file on the XS40 resource CD and allows for the quick and easy installation in any XMLSPY 5 environment. Pricing for the solution starts at $64,995.
