Extending Oracle Fusion Middleware with Intel Security Gateway

SOLUTION BRIEF

Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g introduces the concept of hot-pluggable components for SOA based integration of internal applications. These pre-deployed components facilitate deployment and reuse of services internally across the organization. However, one of the challenges facing modern organizations deploying SOA architecture is exposing services and receiving messages from outside the firewall, in a secure fashion with minimum performance bottlenecks. Growing demands often necessitate the need to scale service access to partners or extend these services to the cloud. When services are extended to the cloud, the functions of performance, security, governance, and virtualization gain paramount importance, as internal SLA requirements and corporate security policies are applied externally. To these ends, Intel’s SOA Expressway security gateway addresses perimeter security and acceleration across the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g stack for securing partner web services.

This solution brief provides an overview and illustrates 3 primary use cases: XML Attack Prevention, Large Message Offload, and integration with Oracle IdM.
