Hardened Appliance Ideal For DMZ Environment

APIs are the faces of enterprise applications and processes. From the perspective of the API consumers, the APIs are the applications. Organizations can use different APIs to create optimized applications for customers, partners, and employees. It is imperative that organizations apply the same rigor they apply to application lifecycle management to API lifecycle management. Vordel's products enable complete API lifecycle management. Vordel API Server provides drag-and-drop API creation , centralized API administration and API registry, comprehensive monitoring and reporting. The free Vordel API Service Tester provides extensive functional and security testing capabilties for API developers and administrators.

Designed For Security

All configurations have been set to maximize security. Management and data interfaces are separated in the operating environment. The dedicated management interface is secured using SSL with digital certificates. Policies stored on the appliance are encrypted, with keys stored on the on-board Hardware Security Module (HSM).

Hardware Security Module And Crypto Accelerator

VX4000 comes equipped with cryptographic acceleration on-board to ensure high performance even at very high traffic throughput. VX4000 supports both on-board and network Hardware Security Module (HSM) options for secured management of PKI keys.

Designed For High Availability

Vordel VX4000 appliance is designed for mission critical applications. With redundant power supplies and built-in RAID, VX4000 is designed to be hardware fault tolerant. In clustered deployments, each VX4000 runs independently with no dependency on other API Server units or supporting infrastructure, thus a Vordel cluster has no single point of failure. Vordel VX4000 is instrumented for monitoring in Network Operations Center by tools such as HP OpenView and CA UniCenter.

100% Compatibility With Other Form Factors

VX4000 appliance is 100% compatible with Vordel API Server in software form factors. Policies developed on any API Server unit maybe deployed to any other API Server unit, software or hardware.
