  (or intermediary)
• Performance is ok
• Scalability is ok
• Web software added to system endpoints

Key Points

• Inherently Distributed Approach
• Lightweight, standards-based endpoints
• Both open source and closed source
• Flexible deployment model for intermediaries
• Transports/Data Formats divorced from
  implementation
• Repository for single point of control
• Logical and Physical View of the Network
• Ability to administer both policies and
  implementations
• Like our runtime, extensible to support different
  deployment containers.
