SecureSpan SOA Gateway
API Gateway with Advanced SOA Adaptation & Mediation Features
The SecureSpan SOA Gateway is Layer 7’s top-of-the-line API Gateway. The SOA Gateway offers all the RESTful features of the API Proxy plus advanced SOA security and mediation features for backend connectivity to databases, mainframes and applications. It can act as a lightweight enterprise service bus (ESB) with API identity, security and management built in.
The SOA Gateway includes backend connectors to a diverse range of data stores, mainframes and legacy applications. It provides data translation, contextual routing, SLA management, caching, protocol switching and B2B functionality. It can also act as an API composition and virtualization endpoint for more complex orchestrations.
To support DMZ deployments, the SOA Gateway includes Web application firewalling (WAF), mobile firewalling and API DoS capabilities. Like all Layer 7 Gateways, it has pre-built integrations with a wealth of enterprise infrastructure products, including all commercial IAM and message-oriented middleware solutions as well the most popular business intelligence and event correlation tools.
Key features of the SOA Gateway include
- Flexible deployment as hardware, software, virtual machine or cloud image
- Integrated application and API security for Web and mobile
- Diverse backend connections to databases, applications and mainframes
- API adaptation and composition features
- Advanced SLA and performance optimization capabilities
- Clustering for scaling and high availability
