Messaging middleware appliances provider Solace Systems has integrated its message routers with Layer 7’s SecureSpan Gateways to provide improved security, manageability and scalability for SOA and cloud integration.
According to Solace Systems, the Layer 7’s XML Gateway provides a range of capabilities for SOA, web services and cloud environments, such as regulating access to services, enforcing policies, protecting against malicious attacks and enabling policy-based integration.
The firm said that its messaging appliance when used in conjunction with the XML Gateway allows enterprise architects to create new virtual enterprise service buses (ESBs) with higher level of performance and policy-based controls for security, management and integration.
Shawn McAllister, CTO at Solace, said: "Layer 7 is widely recognised as a leader in SOA/cloud security and connectivity solutions, and is a natural complement to Solace’s high-speed, message-oriented middleware solution.
"With the ability to be deployed as turnkey appliances, our combined solutions make the management of XML-based web services, security and content networking much easier and faster to roll out than software running on servers."
