Today, Layer 7 Technologies announces that its XML Firewall and XML Networking Gateway software products fully support the Solaris 10 Operating System running on SPARC platforms from Sun Microsystems.

Overall, Layer 7 is a server software for the Solaris 10 operating system running on SPARC and x86 platforms through an upgradeable family of XML appliances for SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) and Web 2.0 applications.

“To meet the growing demand for enterprise SOA and Web 2.0 deployments, Sun and Layer 7 are expanding their initiatives to accommodate large scale and diverse audiences,” said Juan Carlos Soto, v.p. of Market Development, Sun Microsystems.

For users with processor-intensive SOA and Web 2.0 applications, Layer 7 introduced support for Solaris 10 OS on SPARC to further the scalability, density and performance offerings by Sun’s SPARC Enterprise Servers.

Many of Layer 7’s customers use SPARC-based platforms for high-volume data center applications making SPARC technology their first choice for SOA and XML applications.

"As the use of XML data, Web services and SOA increases within the enterprise, customers require robust support for both existing and future enterprise infrastructure. Today, Layer 7 customers use software-based versions of SecureSpan to deploy highly scalable and cost effective solutions for XML security and application-oriented networking in the data center.

“As these initiatives change to meet customer requirements, we are now fully positioned to meet these demands effectively and aggressively by offering flexible governance on the open source Solaris OS for both SPARC-based and x86-based servers, a stable platform known for running some of the world’s largest data centers.”

The SecureSpan XML Firewall provides advanced identity and message level SOA security for cross-domain, B2B and portal applications, while the SecureSpan XML Networking Gateway adds support for complex SOA message routing, mediation, virtualization and Service Level Agreements.

In addition to gateway software, Layer 7 also offers a family of turnkey, hardware-accelerated XML appliances ideal for the modern data center. "We recognize that a ‘one size fits all’ approach simply does not work for enterprise SOA implementations,” said Phil Walston, Vice President Product Management, Layer 7 Technologies.

"Overall, support for SPARC platforms is offered in both the SecureSpan XML Firewall and SecureSpan XML Networking Gateway and is now generally available.

Walston also said "adding SPARC to the SecureSpan’s broad array of supported platforms, operating systems and form factors gives our customers increased ability to tailor their architecture to their exact needs. This is critical for those experiencing or anticipating exceptionally high levels of activity.”
