The Cisco ACE XML Gateway appears to be the new XML traffic cop

Blogging on the Cisco Data Center Networks Blog is Omar Sultan - Cisco CCIE No. 1284 Routing and Switching, touting that the Cisco ACE XML Gateway allows an increased ability to monitor and manage XML traffic. According to Omar, it's a solution that is part of a broader Cisco Data Center 3.0 strategy to increase the application fluency of the network, which, Omar believes, will support further customer innovation.

Cisco ACE XML Gateway Key Benefits:

	Reduce service latency, improve user experience and server utilization by implementing a high performance, highly parallel event-driven architecture.
	Manage unpredictable service outage and usage by enabling a shared, scalable infrastructure that actively enforces service latency agreements.
	Implement consistent security and XML message processing policies for enterprise-wide Web services.

Cisco ACE XML Gateway Deployments:

By allowing auto-provisioning of Web services from Universal Description Discovery and Integration UDDI registry and application servers, and by providing transport and message-level security for XML -based network traffic, the Cisco ACE XML Gateway greatly enhances the ease of securely deploying XML applications and Web services.

How well do you think Cisco is executing its Data Center 3.0 strategy?
