WITH UNICENTER

Partnership Integrates XS40 XML Security Gateway with CA’s Unicenter WSDM
for Scalable, Secure XML Web Services Deployments in World’s Largest
Organizations

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – December 8, 2003 – DataPower Technology, Inc., the
creators of intelligent XML-Aware Network (XAN) infrastructure, announced
today that it is working with Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA)
to support its Unicenter Web Services Distributed Management (WSDM)
solution. As a leading provider of XML Web services security and XML
application acceleration devices that already support Web-based management
interfaces (See 8/12/03 associated news “DataPower Provides First WS-I
Compliant SOAP-Based Interface for Managing XML-Aware Networking Devices” at
www.datapower.com/newsroom ), DataPower now provides critical support for
the performance, security and reliability of Web services in conjunction
with the unified management via CA Unicenter WSDM – enabling customers to
ensure the performance and integrity of the largest and most complex XML Web
services environments.  By streamlining management tasks, the CA-DataPower
solution also minimizes business risk and operational costs. 

“In large organizations, real-world Web services deployments require the
ability to scale the operational complexity in a cost-effective and reliable
manner. The combination of DataPower’s XML-aware networking devices and CA’s
Unicenter WSDM  represents a key technological advancement and offers our
mutual customers the management capabilities to cope with the enormous
complexity of Web services that are widely distributed across enterprise
environments,” said Eugene Kuznetsov, chairman and CTO at DataPower
Technology Inc.  “Working together, CA and DataPower are leading the way
toward the successful implementation of large-scale XML Web services with
the levels of performance, security and reliability required by Global 2000
companies.”

Unicenter WSDM enables IT organizations to closely track a full range of
performance indicators and rapidly respond to service interruptions. While
other vendors offer proprietary point products that address isolated
elements of security and management, only CA delivers a comprehensive,
standards-based solution that addresses all aspects of Web services
management, including monitoring and control of XML-aware networking devices
from leading vendors like DataPower.

"Valued companies like DataPower are working closely with CA because we have
the leading management solutions required by our mutual customers to address
the scalability challenges of real-world Web service deployments," said
Dmitri Tcherevik, vice president of Web services at CA. "Wirespeed XML
proxies like DataPower’s are an important component to the overall Web
services environments within enterprises, and through this collaboration, CA
is extending its global leadership in enterprise management solutions and
enabling customers to enjoy the full potential business value of DataPower’s
XML-aware networking infrastructure solutions.”
