(http://softwareblogs.intel.com/2008/08/11/does-a-soa-soft-appliance-an-esb/). Interesting question to consider - if you can get the equivalent or better performance that comes from IBM's hardware appliance(as listed above) but on general purpose x86 platform, AND, you get the flexibility to address some of the weak points listed - would hardware appliance still be preferred? Would be interested to know the answer. I have been following Joe Natoli’s blog from intel. (http://softwareblogs.intel.com/2008/08/11/does-a-soa-soft-appliance-an-esb/).

Unfortunately, this means I don't get exposure to any non-IBM products that compete in the same space, so I don't have any opinion on Intel's offering. These network 'xml devices' really interest me. I'm curious to see how they continue to be marketed and how they will contain feature creep to retain performance. Hi Albert,

Have you looked at all at the Intel SOA Expressway? I saw the activity this week and my understanding is it is based off technology from a former competitor of Datapower. Was interested to hear what you thought. Interesting post and analysis of a datapower. Have you looked at all at the Intel SOA Expressway?
