Axway API Gateway

Deliver secure and reliable services via cloud, mobile and par tner channels

Axway API Gateway is a leading API runtime delivery and governance solution that enables organizations to deploy APIs connecting back-end
applications and third-party systems, cloud apps, mobile devices, and the Internet of Things (IoT), using a graphical “configure-not-code”
approach. This next-generation technology makes it easy to develop, orchestrate and integrate APIs of all types, across a wide range of
protocols and formats – including REST, SOAP Web Services, XML, messaging and WebSockets – protected from attack and authenticated
by a wide variety of identity management mechanisms.

Additionally, Axway API Gateway provides real-time operational monitoring and analytical reporting, in order to provide IT, business and
operational users with visibility into API usage. Integration with Axway Sentinel combines API usage data with information from other Axway
products to provide end-to-end visibility into data flows across B2B and APIs.

Fast, Easy and Secure API Development and Delivery

Axway API Gateway enables enterprises to standardize the API development and delivery capabilities required to provide business services
via cloud, mobile and partner channels. Encapsulating application gateway, cloud service broker and identity middleware functionality in a
unified platform, it provides an agile, graphical configure-not-code API environment that leverages existing back-end applications, services
and data to help speed time-to-market for new business services while ensuring high security, performance, and availability.

Core Functionality

Manage end-to-end API lifecycle

APIs have a lifecycle that spans development, testing, deployment, administration and monitoring. Unlike other solutions that cover only
parts of the API lifecycle or are building blocks for custom integration, Axway provides a comprehensive API platform that lets you build
APIs, define policies, test APIs, migrate APIs between environments, market APIs, serve APIs, enforce policies, manage and debug API
traffic, manage API consumption by partners and developers, and monitor and report on API usage.

Deliver APIs quickly with consistent quality

An API is useless unless it is delivered with consistent quality. Axway API Gateway
helps ensure great performance, high availability and elastic scalability by enabling
enterprises to operationalize API delivery with standardized supporting services,
including traffic management, transformation and system integration.

Secure APIs and meet compliance requirements

API security breaches can cause brand damage, revenue loss, and compliance
penalties. Axway API Gateway provides comprehensive API security and pre-built
identity management integrations. Axway protects APIs from attacks, controls access
to APIs, and secures the data transmitted by APIs. Axway also provides extensive
auditing, monitoring and reporting capabilities to help enterprises meet the most
stringent compliance mandates.

Configure-not-code approach
The Policy Studio development environment is an Eclipse-based drag-and-drop
interface where policy developers can create policies simply by configuring and
wiring components together. API owners and IT professionals alike will appreciate
the rich analytics module with easy-to-navigate reports. The unified administration
console makes managing even the largest and most complex API environments easy
through interactive wizards and visualization tools that put all management tasks at
the administrator’s fingertips: APIs, servers, policies, transactions, reports and logs.

Unparalleled flexibility and extensibility

Companies can add their own components and capabilities using Java and popular
scripting languages, including Groovy, JavaScript, Jython and Ant. A full SDK is
available to support any other custom in-depth integration needs.

Enterprise-class deployment flexibility

Axway API Gateway supports the broadest range of enterprise deployment scenarios,
including software, a hardened appliance that is ideal for DMZ deployment, virtual
appliances in VMware virtual machine images, and native AMI images. Standard
software installation is certified on Windows, Linux and Solaris. All software options
can be deployed on premise or in the cloud.

Proven performance, scalability and reliability

Axway API Gateway is built on a patented VXA processing engine that supports
many of the largest API deployments in production today. This native-code engine
processes API delivery tasks at wire speed and can offload many XML and security
tasks from the back-end application infrastructure. This class-leading performance
requires no proprietary hardware and scales linearly with physical and virtual
resources, delivering the same high performance in any form factor.

Extensive pre-built adapters

Axway API Gateway offers an extensive library of out-of-the-box adapters. These
include integrations to all the leading identity management vendors, such as CA,
Entrust, IBM, Oracle and RSA, as well as application and SOA infrastructure vendors
such as HP Systinet, IBM, JBOSS, .NET, Oracle, Progress, Software AG and TIBCO.
