Evaluation based on completeness of vision and ability to execute
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced that Gartner, Inc. has positioned Red Hat in
the “Leaders” quadrant of Gartner's October 2016 Magic Quadrant for Full
Life Cycle API Management for Red Hat 3scale API Management Platform.
Gartner's Magic Quadrants are based on rigorous analysis of a vendor's
completeness of vision and ability to execute. According to Gartner,
“Full life cycle API management is the functionality organizations need
in order to provide the technology platform for digital business, run
successful API programs and thrive in the API economy.”
Red Hat 3scale API Management Platform is a distributed, cloud-based
platform designed to provide end-to-end management capabilities for an
organization's APIs. Based on API management technology developed by
3scale, acquired
by Red Hat in June 2016, the Red Hat 3scale API Management Platform
complements Red Hat's existing application development technologies,
including its Red Hat JBoss Middleware portfolio, OpenShift Container
Platform, and Red Hat Mobile offerings, and strengthens its ability to
help simplify and accelerate customers' digital transformation
initiatives.
