IPv6 support
This
product version introduces support for Internet Protocol Version 6
(IPv6), which is the next evolution in Internet Protocol beyond the
IPv4 standard. The key IPv6 enhancement is the expansion of the IP
address space from 32 bits to 128 bits, enabling virtually unlimited
IP addresses.
Least recently used (LRU) policy
support
When setting the maximum capacity on a simple grid,
you can choose to specify an LRU policy on a simple grid.
Learn more...
Eviction policy support
By
default, when you create a simple grid with WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance, a default map and a
set of dynamic maps are created. By default, a time-to-live (TTL)
eviction policy is required when you create a dynamic map with one
of the provided templates. You can choose an eviction policy of creation
time, last-update-time, or last-access-time. You can now change this
behavior so that an eviction policy is set on both a dynamic map and
default map on a simple grid.

Edit etc/hosts file
You
can edit the etc/hosts file from the WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance interface to associate
IP addresses with a host name.
Learn more...
CSV files for monitoring
Monitoring
data is automatically written to CSV files. These CSV files can contain
information about the servers, map, or data grid.

Toleration support for WebSphere Application
Server Version 8 Fix Pack 1
WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance and
WebSphere eXtreme
Scale Client have toleration support
for
WebSphere Application
Server Version 8 Fix

Improved appliance hardware
Appliance
Type 7199-92x is new with Version 2.0 and includes faster processors,
more network ports, and more cache capacity.
Learn more....
Data grid capacity limits
You
can define a maximum capacity for each data grid in a collective.
Configuring a maximum capacity limits the amount of data storage that
a particular data grid can use. The capacity limit ensures that the
available storage capacity for the collective is used in a predictable
manner.

Simple Network Monitoring Protocol
(SNMP) support
With SNMP support, you can monitor the status
of a
WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance as a part of
a larger group of systems in a data center. SNMP monitoring enhances
your ability to notice system issues quickly and then responding to
them promptly.

WebSphere Portal integration
You
can persist HTTP sessions from WebSphere Portal
into a data grid on the appliance.
Learn more...
Data grid inserts are rejected
when physical data storage reaches full capacity
When the included
240 GB cache is full, the physical data storage is at its maximum
capacity. Any insert or operations on the data grid are rejected,
but read and delete operations can continue. To prevent the physical
data storage from reaching full capacity, you can configure capacity
limits on the data grids in the collective.

Firmware performance improvements
The
Version 2.0 firmware includes throughput performance improvements
that apply to both Type 9235-92X and Type 7199-92X appliances. Performance
varies depending on the workload and environment.
WebSphere Commerce integration
WebSphere
Commerce Version 7.0.0.1 now supports the use of
WebSphere eXtreme
Scale Client Version 7.1. You can
