Program Overview: What is DataPower?
DataPower is a technical training program for integration engineers and administrators who run IBM DataPower gateways. Participants learn gateway deployment, message processing policies, SSL and AAA security configuration, and enterprise monitoring. It suits teams newly responsible for DataPower appliances and engineers hardening existing gateway estates.
Training is hands-on in lab gateway environments: learners configure domains, services, and processing rules, then lock them down with security policies. Instructors with deep DataPower operations experience review each configuration and drill into realistic troubleshooting scenarios. High availability and capacity planning labs mirror genuine production concerns teams face daily. The capstone is a full secure gateway build with an instructor-led operations review.
API gateways are easy to misconfigure and hard to debug: a bad policy silently drops traffic, an expired certificate takes down partners, and nobody knows which service is failing. Teams inherit gateways they are afraid to touch. This program builds the confidence to operate DataPower deliberately, with security and observability designed in.
Participants finish by building and defending a secure API gateway: services configured, AAA and SSL policies applied, monitoring and logging wired up, and a high-availability design documented. An instructor-led operations review probes their troubleshooting approach, and they return able to run the gateway estate their business traffic depends on.
Over 24 instructor-led hours, your teams move from gateway foundations to advanced operations. The program blends concept delivery with guided hands-on labs: setting up domains and services, hardening cryptographic profiles, wiring up logging and monitoring, practicing failover and capacity planning, and closing with a capstone build of a secure, production-ready API gateway. Every lab mirrors day-to-day work, so teams return ready to administer DataPower in their own environment.

Cohorts are grouped by role and experience so the labs match the work each team does.
Prerequisites: This program benefits infrastructure, integration, and security engineers who support gateway or middleware services. Familiarity with basic networking and security concepts helps, but is not required; the early modules build the foundations before the hands-on work. Labs adapt to each cohort's tools, topologies, and experience.
Infrastructure engineer to gateway operations lead
Entry levels map to where each skill is first taught in the modules; exit levels reflect the depth reached through the guided labs and capstone build.
DataPower administration is one program that grows with infrastructure careers, from gateway basics to confident production practice.
Mixed cohort, or several teams at once?
We can tailor the training to different teams, roles, and experience levels within the same program.

Operate DataPower Gateways With Verified Security and Clear Diagnostic Evidence
Edstellar develops gateway administration through message processing, SSL and AAA policies, monitoring, and capacity planning. Participants trace transactions and diagnose failures before assembling a secure API gateway. The final operations review examines policy behavior, certificate and authorization choices, resilience assumptions, and the usability of the supporting runbook.
- Step 01
Consult
We assess gateway responsibilities and networking familiarity to identify gaps in DataPower domains, message policies, SSL configuration, authorization stages, and troubleshooting.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish deployment foundations before service processing and security profiles, then logging, capacity, and staged recovery operations within the secure gateway build.
- Step 03
Align
We align DataPower instruction with integration, infrastructure, and security roles, providing foundational support and suitable staged environments for appliance and policy exercises.
- Step 04
Customize
We tailor sample messages, authentication requirements, and failed transactions to representative integrations while using test certificates and explicit capacity and recovery assumptions.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants trace processing rules, enforce AAA policies, and diagnose failures, receiving feedback on security behavior, log evidence, configuration dependencies, and rollback planning.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the gateway and runbook for correct message handling, verified SSL and access controls, useful diagnostics, and justified capacity and resilience arrangements.
