Replace Non-Patented Imitation Appliances
Forum Systems is the pioneer in XML Security Appliances. Over a decade ago, when XML was relatively unknown, its team of XML and Security experts embarked on solving an unknown problem: Securing and Accelerating XML traffic within a network. In April 2009, Forum Systems was recognized for its innovation and granted a patent for its intellectual property.
A number of vendors, private and public, morphed their technologies to follow Forum Systems. These companies imitated Forum Systems patented technology, and pioneering vision. The imitation of Forum Systems technology has resulted in an a number of sub-par imitation products - XML gateways that are now exiting the market or failing because of a poor product architecture.
Customers with non-patented imitation appliances are now rapidly changing over to a patented, secure, and robust XML Gateway - Forum Sentry. The following are a few advantages of migrating to Forum Sentry from XML Gateways imitations:
- Eliminate compliance & legal exposure by deploying only Patented Technology and avoiding Imitations that violate patents
- Keep your infrastructure current with technology leaders
- Deploy Security Appliance built ground up for specialized functions rather than imitations with poor product architectures
- Reduce TCO of maintaining ESB-like Platforms claiming to be XML Gateways.
