Vordel and Independent Research Firm Host Webinar on the Expanding Role of the Gateway in a Modern IT Architecture
Best practice guidelines for leveraging SOA and Cloud Services in a fast, secure and connected manner

Boston, MA - September 7, 2011 Vordel, a provider of gateways for SOA and Cloud Computing, today announced, it is hosting a free webinar on Thursday, September 29 with guest, Randy Heffner, Vice President and Principal Analyst with Forrester Research, Inc. The webinar will examine the expanding role of the Gateway in a modern IT landscape where mobile computing, social networking and Cloud computing open many new commercial opportunities. Guest speaker Randy Heffner will review best practices guidelines for deploying Gateways to fulfil different roles as enterprises seek to extend their services far beyond the traditional IT perimeter boundaries, while still being fast, secured, and controlled.

Mobile computing, social networking, and Cloud computing open many new opportunities to create business value by creating new revenue channels, fostering tighter customer relationships, and reducing the cost of delivering products and services. Leveraging these new technologies demands a high level of application connectivity that extends far beyond enterprise boundaries, while still being fast, secured, and controlled. To meet the need, SOA gateways are expanding into application gateways, both in their feature-function and the scenarios they are being deployed.

According to Forrester Research, "rather than creating a siloed cloud strategy, architects should integrate cloud options into their existing strategies for the organization's business solution portfolio, application platforms, and computing infrastructure."

In this webinar attendees will learn how they can deploy Application Gateways to fulfil a variety of different roles as their enterprises seek to:

• Deploy enterprise applications beyond the network perimeter
• Consume cloud services without losing control or compromising security
• Secure all application connections using enterprise security infrastructure
