IBM has agreed to acquire privately held DataPower for an undisclosed sum. DataPower develops software appliances that improve the security and speed of computer transactions.
Big Blue plans to use the application to help clients optimise application performance in service oriented architectures (SOAs).
SOAs build and maintain applications in an enterprise. Rather than designing applications from the ground up, SOA allows developers to reuse code between departments and combine resources from all over the company.
While such architectures will improve productivity within organisations as well as between partners, this creates a plethora of messages sent between those parties.
This requires optimisation technology that allows IT organisations to keep them under control. IBM is betting that the DataPower acquisition will allow it to play a part in that arena.
DataPower has appliances that specialise in XML offloading and processing, and an integration appliance to streamline SOA infrastructures.
