It's Tuesday, so that means IBM must have released a new data cache solution to compliment all of their other data cache solutions. This one supports common distributed caching scenarios such as HTTP Session Replication and web side-cache accessed via a network connection, and it's affectionately known as the IBM DataPower XC10 appliance.
