Intel SOA Products Division
Encyclopedia
Intel SOA Products Division is a group within Intel which releases XML processing
and security software for transforming XML
messages. Their primary product line, SOA Expressway, is a family of software and hardware XML Gateways (XML appliance
s) that are used in SOA architectures
on-premise or in the cloud
. The appliances interoperate with SOA middleware
& governance
products and handle SOAP
and REST
for cross-domain integration & security.
The Intel SOA Expressway core runtime engine is based on highly-performing XML technology that includes the utilization of an Intel Architecture using the SSE 4.2
instruction set as well as Event Stream
optimizations developed by Sarvega
(acquired by Intel in 2005.)
Intel SOA Expressway for Healthcare is a software product that provides secure interoperability across different domains such as hospitals, state Health Information Exchanges (HIE), or national healthcare integration networks.
