The document discusses IBM's DataPower Virtual Editions, which provide the functionality of IBM's DataPower gateway appliances in a virtualized format. Key points include: - DataPower Virtual Editions can be deployed on VMware, Citrix XenServer, and IBM SoftLayer bare metal servers, providing flexibility compared to physical appliances. - Functionality remains the same between physical and virtual appliances, though some hardware-dependent features are not supported virtually. - New versions add support for additional hypervisors and platforms like VMware Workstation and Fusion to aid development and testing.

experience will vary depending upon many factors, including considerations such as the
amount of multiprogramming in the user’s job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage
configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an
individual user will achieve results similar to those stated here.

13. Evolving Industry Requirements
• Virtualized data-centers are becoming the new norm
• Requests for virtual gateways growing
• DataPower capability has known high value, however
customers need it where they deploy to
• Developers and testers require separate appliances
‒ Isolation of Dev and Test environments
‒ Scalability and flexibility through the dev/test lifecycle‒ Scalability and flexibility through the dev/test lifecycle
‒ Multiple physical appliances are expensive and costly to install
• Physical appliances still recommended for DMZ
operation and bullet-proof HW/SW security
• DataPower Virtual Editions augments use cases
recommending physical appliances with the elasticity,
flexibility and scalability available in virtual and cloud
environments

14. Design Points
• Make virtual DataPower a new deployment option
• Once deployed, it should behave like any other
DataPower appliance
• Where applicable, maintain full functionality
• New features on physical, become new features on
virtual
• Maintain the same firmware upgrade/downgrade
philosophy and capability
• Provide for configuration import/export between• Provide for configuration import/export between
virtual-to-virtual and virtual-to-physical appliances
• Provide the same workload security as physical
appliances
• Overall performance adjustable through the
virtual resources allocated by the VM
management system

platforms
13

15. DataPower VE Security
• Once deployed, DataPower Virtual Editions behave like their physical appliance
counterparts
• All DataPower Security Best Practices apply to DP VE as well

• TPM
• Crypto acceleration
• HSM• HSM
• Secure backup/restore supported for:
• Backup from virtual, restore to virtual
• Configuration export/import supported for:
• Export from virtual, import to virtual or physical
• Export from physical, import to physical or virtual
• Chain of trust down to the hardware requires DataPower physical appliances
• DataPower Virtual Editions adds deployment options for secure virtual
environments
14

16. Comparing Physical and Virtual
• Physical appliances
– Hardware Security
• Hardware based protection against tampering and malicious altering of the physical system, intrusion detection
• Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip
• Certification – The DataPower physical appliance provide FIPS 140-2 Level 3 compliance through the use of
optional hardware security module (HSM)
• The HSM is an embedded, factory installed option providing tamper proof storage of private key material used for
cryptographic operations performed on the appliance
– Performance
• The DataPower hardware appliance is a purpose-built system
providing hardware accelerated operations
15
providing hardware accelerated operations
• Virtual appliance
– Flexible deployment
• DataPower virtual editions can be deployed on
commodity x86 hardware servers and supported cloud environments
• Elasticity - VMs can easily be moved from server to server and new
DataPower VMs can be added for growth or during peak loads
– Development/Test version
• Development Virtual Edition provides a lower-cost environment for application development and test validation
• Includes the optional add-on features, except TIBCO EMS, available for DataPower at no additional cost
– Consolidation
• Multiple instances of DataPower VE can be consolidated and run concurrently on a single physical server
