Red Hat Introduces Fully Containerized API Management Platform
On-premise release of Red Hat 3scale API Management delivers
flexibility, scale and control
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today introduced Red Hat 3scale API Management as a fully
containerized, on-premise offering for end-to-end API lifecycle
management. The on-premise release builds on the existing cloud-based
SaaS offering and expands the deployment options available for the
platform, providing organizations with a more powerful and flexible
solution for managing application programming interfaces (APIs) at scale
within their own datacenter.
As the first major release of the platform following Red Hat's June 2016 acquisition
of 3scale, Red Hat 3scale API Management – On Premise builds on Red
Hat's vision to accelerate digital transformation and innovation with
API-driven hybrid cloud architectures. Described as the “new
language of collaboration,” APIs serve as the building blocks
underpinning today's hyperconnected economy, driven by mobile, the
Internet of Things (IoT), and new application architectures such as
containers and microservices.
Deploying Red Hat 3scale API Management on-premise via Red Hat OpenShift
Container Platform enables customers to effectively manage the full
lifecycle of their APIs without having to expose services externally,
providing greater security and control to help meet regulatory
requirements—all while taking advantage of powerful configuration,
deployment, and administration capabilities for DevOps.
Named a leader in Gartner's
2016 Magic Quadrant for Full Lifecycle API Management, Red Hat
3scale API Management provides the API-based architecture needed to
support an agile integration approach for modern application
development, alongside containers and distributed integration
capabilities.
Availability
Red
Hat 3scale API Management is expected to be available for download
this week from the Red
Hat Customer Portal.
