The Battle for the Next Big Wave in Computing
With the recent IBM acquisition of Data Power, it is clear that the battle for the network has begun. Cisco, in their market wisdom, was the first to bring to market the concept of message aware routing in a large scale. Today, it is clear that IBM has copied Cisco CEO John Chambers and Taf Anthias, vice president and general manager of Cisco's AON (Application-Oriented Network) business unit, in their vision of a smarter network comprised of XML aware advanced message routing.
XML Marks the Spot in IP Services
The move to provision broadband voice, video and data services at the application layer via XML picked up steam last week. As executives from Telcordia Technologies Inc. toured the country to promote their Maestro Internet Protocol multimedia service (IMS) suite, IBM Corp. announced it acquired DataPower Technology Inc., one of the last independent providers of XML acceleration systems.
IBM Corp. has acquired DataPower Technology (Cambridge, Mass.), removing from the field one of the last independent startups in XML acceleration. Following last summer’s acquisition of Sarvega by Intel Corp., the deal leaves only Tarari Inc. as a chip and software player, and Solace Systems Inc. as a developer of full XML server accelerator systems.
Just two months after Cisco's AON launch, now Intel has waded into the XML appliance market. The company is keeping tight-lipped about why exactly it has acquired Sarvega, but there are various pieces of evidence that point to the likely reasons. One thing is clear: Intel is just as determined as Cisco to be an influential player in this emerging and potentially very significant market, which regular readers may recall we analyzed in some detail in the latest issue of the Loosely Coupled monthly digest.
CISCO AON - Another Validation for Solace Systems
Earlier this spring, I met with Sir Terry Matthews at a Mitel Analyst event here in Toronto and we briefly spoke about Solace Systems, which is focused on application aware networking (i.e. XML routing). Having heard about Solace's deployment at Allstream, I was already familiar with the company, but his enthuasism was so contagious that I had to go and check the company out myself at Supercomm.

XML router gets rolled into message passing job
Application-layer processing using Extensible Markup Language (XML) has become common enough to warrant standard silicon for XML processing and standard board-level blades for XML acceleration. Yet when Canadian startup Solace Systems Inc. was designing a router for application-to-application messaging, it chose to use custom silicon and a proprietary real-time OS for the resultant 3200 platform, its unique approach to messaging acceleration.
