IBM DataPower as ESX appliance

i8c does quite some work with IBM WebSphere DataPower.  And counts a number of experienced and certified DataPower developers and architects.  DataPower is great at securing and mediating web services.

Colleague Kim came up with a very interesting evolution: DataPower as a virtual appliance, so the XG45 gateway and XI52 integration appliance as ESX images.
