DataPower XA35 XML Accelerator 2.0, DataPower Technology, (617) 864-0455. www.datapower.com
DataPower's XA35 is an exemplary example of the way in which distributed computing was meant to enhance the performance and capabilities of applications. By providing a centralized mechanism for applying XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation) to incoming and outgoing XML documents, the XA35 off-loads the CPU-intensive process of parsing, manipulating and validating XML documents.
A fortuitous side effect of using the XA35 is that all processing is centralized, so standards are applied across the enterprise with minimal changes to the development environment. The XA35 also reconciles external references, making it ideal to incorporate the growing library of XLST available from outside sources. Because the XA35 can perform transformations transparently on the network, no changes to a production environment are required, making deployment of the product nonintrusive. Developers and production systems alike are well-connected by the XA35.
