DataPower management solution

IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances are purpose-built, easy-to-deploy network devices that simplify, help secure, and accelerate your XML/Web services and SOA deployments.

DataPower usage in high-availability scenarios is based on cluster of two or more DataPower appliances. In order for the cluster to work properly, the configurations across all DataPower appliances in cluster should be the identical. Manual synchronization of those configuration changes takes time and can cause outages and error because of human factor.

IBM WebSphere Appliance Management Center (hereafter, WAMC) manages appliance firmware and configurations across groups of WebSphere DataPower appliances and monitors key metrics and events from groups of WebSphere DataPower appliances. WAMC provides fast time to value with firmware deployment, domain and configuration services, and deployment policy management capabilities in order to meet the operational management and monitoring needs of WebSphere DataPower appliance environments. Management tasks in WAMC are performed via WebGUI application, while access control to different options in the WebGUI is based on role assigned to logged-in user account. 

WAMC allows managing different DataPower models in the same management group with different firmware version (v3.7.3 or later).
