Fast, Easy and Secure API Development and Delivery

Fortune 5,000 enterprises and government agencies around the world rely on Axway API Gateway (formerly Vordel API Server) to deliver mission-critical APIs for agile delivery of business services. The server is a unified platform that provides all of the functionality required to develop, deploy and monitor APIs securely and reliably.

Core Functionality

Manage end-to-end API lifecycle APIs have a lifecycle that spans development, testing, deployment, administration and monitoring. Unlike other solutions that cover only parts of the API lifecycle or are building blocks for custom integration, Axway API Gateway and Axway API Management Solution Pack provide a comprehensive operating platform that lets you build APIs, define policies, test APIs, migrate APIs between environments, market APIs, serve APIs, enforce policies, manage and debug API traffic and monitor and report on API usage.

Deliver APIs quickly with consistent quality An API is useless unless it is delivered with consistent quality. Axway API Gateway helps ensure great performance, high availability and elastic scalability by enabling enterprises to operationalize API delivery with standardized supporting services, including traffic management, transformation and system integration.

Secure APIs and meet compliance requirements API security breaches can cause brand damage, revenue loss, and compliance penalties. Axway API Gateway provides comprehensive API security and pre-built identity management integrations. Axway protects the APIs from attacks, controls access to APIs, and secures the data transmitted by APIs. Axway also provides extensive auditing, monitoring and reporting capabilities to help enterprises meet the most stringent compliance mandates.

Easy for every user The unified administration console provided in the optional API Management Solution Pack makes managing even the largest and most complex API environments easy with interactive wizards and visualization tools that put all management tasks at the administrator’s fingertips: APIs, servers, policies, transactions, reports and logs. The Policy Studio development environment is a drag-and-drop interface where policy developers can create policies simply by linking Filters and Circuits. API owners and IT professionals alike will appreciate the rich Analytics module with easy-to-navigate reports.

Unparalleled flexibility and extensibility Axway API Gateway offers developers a familiar Eclipse-based Policy Studio to build APIs and policies visually. Additional flexibility and extensibility is supported via Java and popular scripting languages, including Groovy, JavaScript, Jython and Ant. A full SDK is available for the most in-depth integration needs.

Enterprise-class deployment flexibility Axway API Gateway supports the broadest range of enterprise deployment scenarios, including a hardened appliance that is ideal for DMZ deployment and virtual appliances in VMware or Oracle virtual machine images, as well as native AMI images. Standard software installation is certified on Windows, Linux and Solaris. All software options can be deployed on-premise or in the cloud.

Performance without bounds Axway API Gateway is built on a patented VXA processing engine. This native-code engine processes API delivery tasks at wire speed and performs many XML and security tasks much faster than back-end application infrastructure. This class-leading performance requires no proprietary hardware and scales linearly with physical and virtual resources, delivering the same high performance in any form factor.

Extensive pre-built adapters Axway API Gateway offers an extensive library of out-of-the-box adapters. These include integrations to all the leading identity management vendors, such as CA, IBM and Oracle, as well as application and SOA infrastructure vendors such as HP Systinet, IBM, JBOSS, .NET, Oracle, Progress, Software AG and TIBCO.

Axway API Gateway provides an intuitive graphical overview of policies.
