Lab 1 Overview<br />
This <strong>IBM</strong>® WebSphere® DataPower® SOA Appliances Proof of Technology (PoT) provides a hands-on<br />
experience for those needing to understand how WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances can help ease<br />
and accelerate the deployment of enterprise service oriented architecture (SOA) implementations.<br />
Participants gain an appreciation for the ability of WebSphere DataPower to meet the demand for fast,<br />
secure, and reliable XML processing by creating various configurations that demonstrate a rich array of<br />
built-in functionality.<br />
1.1 Introduction<br />
<strong>IBM</strong> WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances represent an important element in <strong>IBM</strong>'s holistic approach<br />
to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). <strong>IBM</strong> SOA appliances are purpose-built, easy-to-deploy network<br />
devices that simplify, help secure, and accelerate your XML and Web services deployments while<br />
extending your SOA infrastructure. These new appliances offer an innovative, pragmatic approach to<br />
harness the power of SOA while simultaneously enabling you to leverage the value of your existing<br />
application, security, and networking infrastructure investments.<br />
