Vordel's New API Server Chosen by Government and Manufacturing Customers Ahead of Competition
Vordel API Server Beats Out Competitive Vendors: Customers Choose Vordel for Ease-of-Use, Elastic API Deployment and Range of Enterprise Connectors

Boston, MA July 25, 2012 - Vordel, the API Server provider that connects business, mobile and cloud, today announced new competitive wins for the recently announced Vordel API Server, a unified platform for API management. These new customers in the U.S. federal government and European large scale manufacturing sector selected the Vordel API Server due to its ability to quickly scale an API deployment in an elastic fashion, its overall ease-of-use and its API-based integration with other products including SAP, Oracle, and CA SiteMinder among others.

Launched in June 2012, the Vordel API Server is an enterprise-ready, unified platform to manage, deliver and secure APIs to cloud and mobile channels. It encapsulates capabilities from Vordel's application gateway, cloud services broker, and API management technologies into a unified API operating platform.

One commonality in the recent customer wins is how diverse organizations ranging from manufacturing to government are using the Vordel API Server for managing mission critical logistical systems. These customers are either using Vordel as part of a SAP system or using it with their own supply chain, with integration across global locations.

For example, a Vordel customer responsible for managing SAP deployments for a U.S. government organization required the ability to manage the transfer of data between Oracle and SAP systems, while also conforming to policies in CA SiteMinder. This organization chose the Vordel API Server because of its demonstrated API-based integration with SAP, Oracle, and CA Systems, and its ability to handle highly sensitive and time-critical procurement and tracking information.

Another Vordel customer, a manufacturing business required the ability to manage its global logistics supply chain across multiple geographies including Brazil, Europe, and Hong Kong, as well as through diverse systems including IBM WebSphere MQ and Microsoft Active Directory. The manufacturing business selected the Vordel API server for its API-based integration with the IBM and Microsoft systems it used, as well as its clear ease-of-use advantages compared to the competition.

Vic Morris, Vordel CEO, said, "The Vordel API Server was launched a month ago, and we're excited by such immediate and positive customer reaction. Today, enterprises need a solution offering both security and high performance API delivery to enable the roll-out of cloud and mobile strategies to their partners and customers alike. Of note, these recent significant wins have been in industry sectors characterized by the need for reliability and performance. These early wins are testimony to the value the Vordel API server delivers to customers, and reflects our strategic vision of enabling enterprises to achieve their long term goals of effective API management today rather than in the future."

The Vordel API Server is suitable for APIs of all types, ranging from REST APIs for mobile and Web to SOAP APIs for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). It is also suitable for file based interfaces for business-to-business integration, as well as other types of application integration interfaces.

Customers deploying the Vordel API Server enjoy the benefits of a solution which scales elastically with API usage. In addition, comprehensive API analytics provide business-level insight into API usage. A wide range of enterprise adapters map APIs into enterprise systems such as SAP and TIBCO.
