Traditional network devices and appliances are ill-equipped to deal with XML and Web Services traffic since they fundamentally inspect packet-level data, rather than the content-level data that XML and Web Services represent. A new breed of network device is needed to deal with the unique challenges of handling XML on the network. XML switches, unlike their IP counterparts, are pieces of hardware equipment that provide deep XML-aware processing of network traffic at network wire speeds
Sarvega XPE 2000 Switches provide the specialized processing and intelligence required to transparently offload complex and expensive XML processing from IP-based server infrastructure.
