Intel® SOA Expressway Performance Comparison to IBM® DataPower XI50

Hardware appliances such as the IBM® DataPower XI50 are typically deployed in datacenters to solve integration problems around SOA security, governance and mediation. While these types of highly specialized hardware appliances may solve a few specific problems, they are slow to evolve, difficult to repurpose, and incur higher maintenance and operational costs as compared to general purpose server software solutions. Furthermore, hardware appliances are at odds with major cost-saving datacenter trends such as multi-core and virtualization. A multi-core optimized software appliance or service router (SR) is superior offering.

Intel® SOA Expressway provides superior performance for service mediation and governance use cases outpacing IBM® DataPower in a direct "apples-to-apples" comparison by 1.5X to 8X at half the cost. This paper presents benchmark test scenarios, cost analysis, and SOAE's multi-core optimized software architectural elements.
