    WebSphere DataPower Gateway is really beneficial if you are trying to integrate two or more systems. It provides you with comfort and peace of mind by creating a DMZ zone for the services which are going out of the intranet to hit external clients APIs. It is greatly recommended if you have a very high volume service or API which is being used by a majority of clients because it has a dedicated physical box present which takes care of memory, CPU and all such stuff. So, all your transactions happen at wire-speed.

    At the suggestion of the contractor (retailer), who has always entrusted us with the Internet environment, we set up this tower server. The CAL upgrade cost associated with upgrading the file server can be greatly reduced because the StrageServer operating system was given as a line. The operability of remote maintenance was also greatly improved by employing the associated management software (iRMC).

    Pros
    IBM
    • The most obvious thing that DataPower does exceptionally well is security. All the built-in supported security capabilities allow us to isolate most security tasks to DataPower and as a result "protect" down steam services/systems to have to deal with security.
    • DataPower is very good at protocol conversion and as it is usually used on the edge allows you to narrow down the protocols used between the companies public and private networks.
    • The appliance concept makes maintenance, recovery and, management so much simpler.

    • It has a good user support team
    • The support system that more than makes up for it is the determining factor for the choice.
    • When a RAID disk or power supply failed, the maintenance service alerted me with a monitoring alarm and replaced it quickly before service was interrupted.

    Cons
    IBM
    • The old interface is being really missed by our team as the new WebUI interface is not that intuitive or easy to work with. It takes a lot of time to load. There should be an inbuilt wizard for creating a Rest service as well like there is for an XML based service.
    • IBM support is very knowledgeable but it's not that easy to reach them. They don't release the fix patches very soon which also becomes a big issue in certain situations where critical projects are involved.
    • Lastly, DataPower has its steep learning curve and it requires time and effort on your end to gain full control and make the most of the advanced features which it offers. Finding the right resource in the market is not that easy.

    • It has no effect on the run rate because it does everything correctly from detection to replacement before stopping
    • I think a more reliable unit can be used as a server computer.
    • It is more expensive than a model of equal characteristics from a foreign manufacturer.

    Return on Investment
    IBM
    • It has really taken our business to the next level. We have expanded and integrated with so many new vendors and for all those integrations DataPower is serving as our security gateway.
    • We don't have to depend on any other tool for doing the load balancing of the incoming requests as that is also taken care inside the WebSphere DataPower Gateway box itself, thereby distributing the load equally.
    • It has made our platform much more secure, uniform and robust to deal with any kind of incoming message format or threat as well due to its latest security mechanisms and huge processing power.

    • With respect to the backup system, I believe that relocation after the replacement was facilitated.
    • The best solution to the problem was that thanks to Fujitsu Interstage I created a separate cloud to store the data for each individual PC.
    • Being able to continue the tasks, without the interruption of service due to a hardware failure that was fixed very efficiently, demonstrates the quality of this company's operations.
