Subject: World's First, Fastest & Most Widely Deployed XML Accelerator Extends DataPower Leadership with 3.1 Release


WORLD'S FIRST, FASTEST & MOST WIDELY DEPLOYED XML ACCELERATOR EXTENDS
DATAPOWER LEADERSHIP WITH 3.1 RELEASE 

Firmware Release Increases Number of Applications that Can Benefit from
Leading XML Acceleration Technology; Addresses Growing XML Processing
Crisis by Accelerating XML Schema Validation, XML Parsing, XPath Query &
XML Transformation


CAMBRIDGE, MASS, January 11, 2005  - DataPower(r), the original creator
and leading provider of intelligent XML-Aware Network (XAN) hardware,
announced today the availability of firmware release v3.1 for its
DataPower XA35 XML Accelerator(tm).
 
Shipping for almost 3 years, the award-winning XA35 established a new
category of intelligent network equipment by providing wirespeed XML
offload for servers and networks. Powered by the world's first and
fastest XML processing engine, the XA35 won the coveted Well-Connected
Infrastructure Product of the Year award, and received commendations
from many other trusted third-parties.  IBM Corporation noted in XML
Acceleration Appliances, "In our own tests, the XA35 XML Accelerator
from DataPower offers significant XSLT performance improvements...
living up to DataPower's claims of 'wirespeed XML processing.'"
DataPower was also recently awarded a patent covering its core
technology. (See related announcement "DataPower Granted Patent for Its
Core XML Processing and Data Interchange Technology,"
www.datapower.com/site/newsroom/pr_081004_patent.html.)  
      
Customers using DataPower XML-aware network equipment in production
applications include ADP, BAE, Bell Canada, Booz Allen Hamilton,
Cendant, CIBC, The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, GFKL, The Hartford,
Hemscott, JPMorgan Chase Bank, Navio, Northrop Grumman, Pfizer,
Principal Financial, RBC, RouteOne, UBS, U.S. VA, and Wachovia.

Informed by DataPower's years of experience with mission-critical XML
acceleration deployments, the latest version of the award-winning
product greatly expands the benefits of hardware acceleration to
applications that make use of XML schema, XML parsing, XSLT 2. 0 and
XPath 2.0. Firmware release v3.1 release allows the XA35 to accelerate
not just the XML messages themselves but also the XML schemas associated
with the messages.  A brand new XML Schema engine greatly improves the
performance of XML parsing and schema validation by orders of magnitude.
V3.1 also includes Java object support for J2EE-based XML applications
and support for transforming XML into binary messages (via DataGlue(r)
option). Also included are multiple enhancements for the user interface
(UI) including the Control Panel for overall management, wizard-like
interface to facilitate XML accelerator creation, logging drill-down,
and enhanced troubleshooting tools. "As more enterprises adopt XML for
mission-critical transactions, they continue to run into the XML
performance and scalability barrier.  The XA35 XML Accelerator has been
eliminating this barrier for our customers since 2002, by applying the
patented XML acceleration technology we have developed since 1999," said
Eugene Kuznetsov, Chairman and CTO at DataPower. "The 3.1 release
extends our lead as the provider of the best XML acceleration solution,
by expanding the capability of the field-proven XA35 into new areas to
solve urgent problems for our customers and by continuously improving
its ease of use." 

Leading analyst firm, ZapThink, estimates that XML traffic will triple
by 2008 and will account for close to 50% of network traffic, strain
existing infrastructure and impede enterprise deployments for XML, Web
Services and Service Oriented Architectures. Unlike niche product
features that address only one or two XML performance challenges - such
as XSLT or XML compression - the XA35 offers a proven solution to the
entire enterprise-scale XML processing challenge. 
The XA35 XML Accelerator is a member of DataPower's XML-aware networking
product family, which includes the XS40 XML Security Gateway, the XI50
XML Integration Appliance and the XG4 XML Chipset for OEMs. The XA35 XML
Accelerator offers comprehensive support for new versions of standards
such as XML, XML Schema (XSD), Web services, XPath and XSLT, as well as
integration with existing management and application infrastructure
(such as IBM WebSphere & Tivoli, HP OpenView, CA Unicenter, F5 BIG-IP
iControl).
