Product positioning

The DataPower XC10 appliance complements the WebSphere Application Server
family of products providing a distributed caching platform for WebSphere business
applications and can run with any WebSphere Application Server V6.1 and V7.0. The
appliance provides a purpose-built network attached cache whereas IBM software
offerings such as WebSphere eXtreme Scale and WebSphere Business Events
eXtreme Scale enable more sophisticated caching scenarios where the applications
and cached data may be located on the same server. WebSphere Business Events
eXtreme Scale software integrates WebSphere eXtreme Scale and WebSphere
Business events into a single product supporting customers with high volumes of
business events flowing through their enterprise.
The DataPower XC10 appliance can provide excellent value to customers whose
business-critical Web applications
• Need to offer automatic failover of Web sessions
• Can not tolerate session failures which result in lost revenue and user satisfaction
problems
• Use the WebSphere Application Server Dynacache service
• Demand better performance and scalability of their caching investment
• Need faster task completion and increased e-commerce conversion rates
Examples:
• e-commerce sites where the session is a shopping cart
• Web sites that cache catalog data, master data, or user profiles
• Enterprise applications that access multiple systems
• e-commerce sites whose performance gets worse as transaction volumes grow
