Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

This past September, IBM reshaped the service-oriented architecture (SOA) platform market with a bang with its announcements of WebSphere ESB, WebSphere Process Server, and a new version of the WebSphere Message Broker. Then in October, IBM announced the acquisition of DataPower Technology, adding an XML infrastructure appliance to its SOA platform. Although IBM was already an SOA powerhouse, these moves expand its capabilities and market presence as well as offer customers important new options for implementing SOA. IBM's moves also validate these emerging markets and will accelerate the consolidation of SOA application infrastructure.
