Product interoperability

WebSphere® DataPower® XC10 Appliance has been tested for interoperability with other IBM® products.

WebSphere Application Server

WebSphere Application Server is required to implement the HTTP session and dynamic cache data grid scenarios. For more information about the specific releases of WebSphere Application Server that are required, see System requirements.

WebSphere DataPower Integration Appliance XI50

You can use WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance as a side cache with the WebSphere DataPower Integration Appliance XI50. The REST gateway makes this integration possible by allowing non-Java-based clients to access simple data grids with a set of HTTP-based operations. For more information about the REST gateway, see Developing data grid applications with the REST gateway. For information and a sample application that demonstrates the integration between WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance and WebSphere DataPower Integration Appliance XI50, see Using the WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance as a side cache for the WebSphere DataPower XI50 Integration Appliance.

WebSphere Portal

You can persist HTTP sessions from WebSphere Portal into a data grid on the appliance. For more information about creating this configuration, see Configuring HTTP session manager with WebSphere Portal. In addition, IBM Web Content Manager in IBM WebSphere Portal can use dynamic cache instances to store rendered content that is retrieved from Web Content Manager when advanced caching is enabled. WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance caching appliance offers an implementation of dynamic cache that stores cached content in an elastic data grid instead of using the default dynamic cache implementation.

WebSphere Commerce

WebSphere Commerce Version 7.0.0.1 now supports the use of WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client Version 7.1. You can use the WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance to cache dynamic cache data from WebSphere Commerce. See Creating dynamic cache data grids for more information.

Tivoli monitoring

When you enable SNMP monitoring for your WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance, you can import that data into IBM Tivoli® Monitoring Version 6.2.2 Fix Pack 2 or higher. You can use Tivoli Monitoring to monitor and manage system and network applications on multiple operating systems, keep track of the availability and performance of all parts of your enterprise, and produce reports to track trends and troubleshoot problems.
