Hi TBS,
WMB can do the usual security (points which you mentioned), but it is not recommended to have your firewall and secure zone esb as the same...these need to be two layers.
Having said two layers, you can implement another layer of WMB for security too, but DataPower is a much better solution as it supports lot more security standards. Most of the security in DP is out-of-the-box and easily configurable, plus its a appliance without an OS etc...so buying hardware, upgrading OS, antivirus and worries of hacking do not apply.
It's a very good replacement for the standard load-balancers too, as it comes with Application Optimization module for intelligent load sharing.
Regards. |

Yes, Broker can do all this, it's a question of what is a better fit where...
DataPower appliances fit really well in a DMZ, because they have hardened security characteristics - DoS protection, threats against XML attacks etc.
On the other hand, Message Broker is better at processor heavy stuff and connecting back-end systems. I'd put WMB alongside those back-end systems, as I wouldn't want those applications potentially exposed through a DMZ.
In typical scenarios, DP will perform an initial routing decision, transformation or WS-Security processing on the initial point of entry in a DMZ, then send the requests onto a back-end instance of WMB for the heavy lifting. |
