Gateway is a key component of modern IT architecture

The modern IT architecture is a combination of on-site, mobile, Cloud, and third-party services. IT's challenge is to integrate these heterogeneous technologies to deliver business value, all in Web 2.0 time. The challenges created by this fast evolving IT landscape are endless, but there is a common theme: enterprise must be able to deploy and consume business applications anywhere, across domains, reliably and securely. Vordel solutions can help.

Modern day application integrations include exchanging data between on-site and Cloud based applications, securing transactions across domains, exposing core business services to mobile applications, and federating user identity across the value chain.

Gateways Link Applications Old And New

Cloud, mobile, and social networking are new technologies business want to leverage to create new revenue, cut cost, and build brand equity. In contrast, core business services have been deployed on proven technologies that are 5 to 10 years old, if not older. Connecting the old with the new requires interface mediation, data transformation, and security integration. Vordel solutions can help.

Gateways Link Applications On-premise And Off-premise

The network perimeter has already become a fuzzy concept. Software-as-a-service, Platform-as-a-Service; Infrastructure-as-a-Service; IT outsourcing; business process outsourcing; partner integration and mash-up applications are moving applications off premise. Connecting off-premise applications with on-premise applications requires transport and message level security, identity federation, service level monitoring and enforcement. Vordel solutions can help.

Gateways Link Applications of Different Technologies

The IT industry is undergoing unprecedented consolidation. Oracle and IBM are delivering complete integrated "mega stacks" from server hardware to business applications. Other stacks are emerging from traditional and Cloud players such as SAP, Microsoft, HP, VMware, Salesforce, and Amazon. Stack vendors have simplified integration within each stack, but have made cross-stack integrations more difficult by priority, and sometimes by design. Connecting applications of different technologies requires protocol translation, security negotiation, and standards mediation. Vordel solutions can help.
