Layer 7 Technologies Supports Solaris 10 on SPARC

By DE Editors

Layer 7 Technologies (Vancouver, Canada) announced its XML Firewall and XML Networking Gateway software products support the Solaris 10 Operating System (OS) running on SPARC platforms from Sun Microsystems.

Layer 7 is the only XML security and networking vendor to offer server software for Solaris 10 OS running on SPARC and x86 platforms through an upgradeable family of XML appliances for Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) and Web 2.0 applications, says the release.

For customers 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.

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 suited for the data center.

Support for SPARC platforms is offered in both the SecureSpan XML Firewall and SecureSpan XML Networking Gateway and is available.
