Simplifying Integration with IBM WebSphere DataPower Integration Appliance XI50 for zEnterprise

- Exploitation of the high-speed intraensemble data network (IEDN) connecting the zEnterprise Blade Extension (zBX) with the zEnterprise central processor complex (CPC), either a zEnterprise 196 (z196) or zEnterprise 114 (z114)
- Secure incorporation of the DataPower XI50z appliance into a virtual local area network (VLAN) on the zBX
- Unified management of the DataPower XI50z, along with other blades and optimizers using a common management tool
- A centralized computing model, resulting in more efficient use of floor space, lower energy costs, and a lower total cost of ownership (TCO)

The DataPower XI50z provides a variety of powerful integration scenarios specifically for older mainframe applications, making it a natural choice to include the appliance in your centralized zEnterprise server.

This publication is intended for potential and actual users of the DataPower XI50z.
