IBM announced yesterday that it has bought DataPower, a private maker of devices that speed the processing of XML (extensible markup language). The move is a good one for IBM, because “it’s one of those acquisitions that stretches across the breadth of the company,” Frank Dzubeck, president, Communication Network Architects, told TechNewsWorld. DataPower, founded in 1999, sells three products that all offload the processing of XML: a basic box that parses the messages, one that adds a security gateway and one that adds transformation services.
