It expedites SOA deployments by addressing common SOA bottlenecks – it accelerates, secures, integrates and routes XML, web services and legacy data in a single, easy to manage form factor.

SOA without Compromise: Simplify SOA infrastructure with specialized soft-appliances with no compromise on extensibility or virtualization.

Cost Reduction: Address common SOA bottlenecks on standard Intel® Multi-Core servers – accelerate, secure, integrate and route XML, Web services and legacy using SOA without the need for purpose built appliances or multiple application servers.

Simplify, Simplify, Simplify: Eliminate disruption to existing IT infrastructure caused by rigid governance, operational overhead and lack of virtualization typical of hardware SOA appliances.

SOA Expressway contains everything you need for a high performance services mediation layer in one software form-factor.

ISV and End-User Ready: Available both as a software solution through Intel and its resellers as well as a white-box for software vendors (ISV).

Sponsor SOA World / Virtualization Conference & Expo
Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) have evolved over the past few years out of the original vision of loosely coupled web services replacing constrained, stovepiped applications throughout enterprise IT. Every major enterprise technology vendor today has developed its own SOA strategy, supported by innumerable mid-size companies and start-ups offering specific SOA aspects or entire solutions. This explosive growth in SOA technology is in response to a global demand--IDC estimates that spending on SOA services alone will grow from $8.6 billion to more than $33 billion by 2010.
