Kurs informasjon: Accelerate, Secure and Integrate with IBM DataPower V4.0.1

In this 5-day instructor-led course, students learn the fundamental skills required to implement IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances with firmware version 4.0.1.

The IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances allow an enterprise to simplify, accelerate, and enhance the security capabilities of its Extensible Markup Language (XML) and web services deployments, and extend the capabilities of its service-oriented architecture (SOA) infrastructure.

Through a combination of instructor-led lectures and hands-on lab exercises, students learn how to implement the key use cases for the DataPower appliances. These include XML acceleration and threat protection, web service virtualization, web services security, integrating with IBM WebSphere MQ and Java Message Service (JMS), and authentication, authorization, and auditing (AAA). Students also learn how to use various problem determination tools such as logs, monitors, and probes, as well as techniques for testing DataPower services and handling errors.

Hands-on exercises give students experience working directly with an IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliance. The exercises focus on skills such as creating XML firewalls, working with encryption and cryptographic objects, configuring service level monitoring, troubleshooting services, and handling errors.
