DATAPOWER EXPANDS THE GLOBAL REACH OF XML-AWARE NETWORKING WITH AVANTGARDE RESELLER RELATIONSHIP German System Integrator Selects DataPower's High-Performance XML Security and Acceleration Devices to Eliminate Customers' XML Web Services Pains CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - October 14, 2003 - DataPower Technology, Inc., the leading provider of intelligent XML-Aware Network infrastructure, announced today that it has signed a reseller agreement for the DataPower XS40 XML Security Gateway(tm) and the DataPower XA35 XML Accelerator(tm) with Avantgarde to address XML Web Services security and XML performance hurdles facing corporations in Germany. Avantgarde is a system integrator that specializes in solutions for web based supervision and billing of technical devices, security for Web Services applications and security architectures for IT infrastructures in medium-sized and large-scale companies. Avantgarde selected DataPower's XML-Aware Networking devices based on the market success of the DataPower XS40 XML Security Gateway and its ability to provide centralized Web Services security with XML filtering, XDoS (XML Denial of Service) protection, XML Schema validation and other essential functions without performance degradation for a key Avantgarde customer. (See today's associated announcement, "GFKL Financial Services Selects DataPower for Airtight Web Services Security and XML Firewall Functions.") "Avantgarde's strength is in our ability to develop strategies that ensure implementation and secure operation of complex systems like ERP, finances, customer relationship management (CRM) and business intelligence (BI)," said Alf Eckardt, CTO at Avantgarde. "After extensive testing of products that included real customer test scenarios at GFKL, DataPower demonstrated the most comprehensive XML Web Services security and fastest XML application performance solution to meet the high demands of our customers. As demonstrated already with our first customer in GFKL, Avantgarde sees tremendous business opportunity with DataPower's XML-Aware Networking devices." "In a short time, DataPower has generated true global demand for our XML-Aware Networking products and their ability to eliminate the security and performance penalties associated with XML applications and Web Services with a simple, easy to install network device," said Ben Wen, Senior Director of Channels at DataPower Technology Inc. "DataPower welcomes the addition of Avantgarde as a channel partner in Germany, and we look forward to a very successful relationship based on the customer traction we are seeing already." DataPower's XML-Aware Networking Products * XS40 Security Gateway: DataPower's XS40 - powered by the fastest XML processing with DataPower's XG3(tm) - is a diskless "drop-in" device purpose-built to provide complete XML web services security with the wirespeed performance necessary for robust enterprise applications and without coding or changes to existing applications. Like the first routers, firewalls or load balancers that came before it and offloaded complex, processing intensive application functionality to network hardware, the XS40 combines raw power and sophisticated secure algorithms. The XS40 is designed with broadest security intelligence and functionality including XML firewall, XDoS protection, SOAP filtering, access control, schema validation, digital signatures, and encryption of field-level XML content for all XML Web Service message flows. Other features include SAML, XACML, XKMS, LDAP, and RADIUS compliance as well as XML/SOAP routing, SSL acceleration, service virtualization, and centralized policy management. * XA35 XML Accelerator: Using the same XG3 technology, the XA35 is a diskless networking device designed to offload burdensome XML processing from resource-constrained servers. The XA35 delivers order-of-magnitude performance and scalability improvements to XML-based applications, and seamlessly integrates into existing networks within hours without the need to change or tune existing application code. About DataPower Technology DataPower Technology provides enterprises with intelligent XML-Aware network infrastructure to ensure unparalleled performance, security and manageability of next-generation applications and XML Web Services. DataPower's patent-pending XML Generation Three (XG3(tm)) technology powers the industry's first wire-speed XML-aware networking devices that provide immediate return on technology investments while streamlining application deployments.
