Features


Hybrid, multi-cloud integration 

  1. Develop anywhere, deploy anywhere: Design and develop integrations anywhere with your preferred tooling (whether it’s online or offline). And then deploy them anywhere. Eliminate duplicate effort and complicated local configurations, so you can enjoy increased productivity and agility. 
  2. Unified experience across all iPaaS components: Administer and monitor integrations, APIs, and data distributed across hybrid and multi-cloud landscapes for unprecedented visibility and governance. Stop wasting time learning different tools and switching interfaces. A unified experience across APIs, apps, data, B2B, and events increases developer collaboration and productivity. 
  3. Central control, distributed execution: Control a distributed network of integrations running complex business transactions from one place. Eliminate disconnected integration tools that need specialized dev and ops teams. Scale up and down easily to save costs, simplify compliance, and regain control of your integration landscape, driving productivity and governance. 
  4. Flexibility in Runtime Positioning: With our multi-cloud integration product, you have the freedom to position runtimes at the edge or in Software AG Cloud. This flexibility allows you to optimize the performance and latency of your integrations by placing them closer to the data sources or endpoints. Edge runtimes enable faster data processing and reduce reliance on central cloud-only infrastructure, while managed SaaS platforms provide scalability and ease of management. 
  5. Secure Private Link Connectivity: Product ensures secure connectivity between different runtime environments. By utilizing private links, you can establish encrypted connections between integrations running in various environments, such as public clouds, private clouds, or on-premises systems. This level of security prevents unauthorized access and data breaches, ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of your business-critical information. 
  6. Granular Control over Integration Execution: Our product empowers you to run entire integrations or specific parts of integrations across different execution runtimes securely. This flexibility allows you to optimize resource utilization and performance based on specific requirements. You can distribute integration tasks to the most suitable runtime environment, ensuring efficient processing and reducing latency. 
  7. Data Control and Governance: You have complete control over the data returned by integrations. This capability is particularly important for organizations dealing with sensitive or regulated data. You can determine what data is returned back, how it’s returned back, implement data masking or redaction techniques, and ensure compliance with privacy regulations. By maintaining control over data, you can mitigate risks and enhance trust with your customers and partners. 
  8. Comprehensive Monitoring and Observability: Our product provides robust monitoring capabilities for all scalable runtimes and integration transactions. You can track performance metrics of each runtime, monitor the health/availability, identify potential bottlenecks or issues. Additionally, observability metrics enable you to gain insights into integration workflows, visualize transaction flows, and troubleshoot any anomalies effectively. This holistic monitoring approach ensures that your integrations are running smoothly and optimally across all endpoints. 
  9. Vendor-agnostic Integration: You are not limited to a single cloud provider. You can seamlessly integrate applications and systems across different cloud environments, including public clouds (such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud) and private clouds. This vendor-agnostic approach gives you the flexibility to choose the best cloud services and platforms based on your specific needs, avoiding vendor lock-in and enabling a multi-cloud strategy. 
  10. Scalability and Elasticity: offers scalability and elasticity, allowing you to handle varying workloads and sudden spikes in demand. You can scale your integration processes horizontally or vertically, ensuring high availability and performance. This scalability ensures that your integrations can handle increased data volumes, user traffic, and transaction loads as your business grows. 
  11. Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity: By distributing your integrations across multiple cloud environments, you can ensure business continuity even if one cloud provider experiences an outage or disruption. In the event of a failure, the integrations can be automatically routed to a different runtime environment, minimizing downtime and ensuring the uninterrupted flow of data and transactions. 
  12. Cost Optimization: offers cost optimization opportunities by leveraging the most cost-effective runtime environments and cloud resources. Additionally, by running integrations at the edge or utilizing Software AG cloud, you can reduce data transfer time, latency and costs, minimize infrastructure investments, and optimize resource utilization, leading to cost savings. 
  13. Future-proofing: Multi-cloud integration helps future-proof your business by providing flexibility and adaptability to changing technology landscapes. As new cloud providers and services emerge, you can easily integrate them into your existing ecosystem without disrupting your current integrations. This agility ensures that your integration architecture remains flexible and scalable, accommodating future business needs and technological advancements.
