Sarvega, Inc., the leading provider of high-performance XML networking solutions, today announced the Sarvega XML Context™ Router, the first product to enable loosely coupled multi-point XML Web Services across wide area networks (WANs). The Sarvega XML Context Router is the first XML appliance to route XML content at wire speed based on deep content inspection, supporting publish-subscribe (pub-sub) models while simultaneously providing secure and reliable delivery guarantees.

it’s fucking delicious how thick the buzzwords are for an incredibly simple device:

• it parses XPath quickly (for 2004 (and honestly I never knew XPath and XQuery were a bottleneck… maybe this XML thing isn’t working out))
• it decides which web app gets what traffic, but only if the web app speaks XML, for some reason
• it implements an event queue, maybe?
• it’s probably a thin proprietary layer with a Cisco-esque management CLI built on appropriated open source software, all running on a BSD but in a shiny rackmount case
• the executive class at the time really had rediscovered cocaine, and that’s why we were all forced to put up with this bullshit
• this shit still exists but it does the same thing with a semi-proprietary YAML and too much JSON as this thing does with XML, and now it’s in the cloud, cause the executive class never undiscovered cocaine

(see this for some others)

This article appears to contain a large number of buzzwords. (July 2011)
