Enhanced Management, Security and Monitoring Increases Business
Agility for Competitive Advantage in one of the Industry's Leading API
Management Portfolios
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today announced new solutions and
capabilities within its API
Management portfolio to help developers, enterprise architects and
digital leaders create
and deploy microservices—and manage the APIs that connect and
orchestrate microservices to build modern application architectures. The
latest innovations include:
-
Expanded capabilities of CA
Live API Creator to quickly, effectively and independently create,
deploy and run microservices.
-
Docker® container deployment options across many products within the
API Management portfolio for end-to-end support in microservices
architectures.
-
Expanded API Management portfolio integrations to address management,
security and advanced monitoring of APIs for modern architectures in
any enterprise or cloud environment.
"Successful digital businesses require a modern application architecture
to accelerate development, open new business opportunities and innovate
faster," said Rahim Bhatia, general manager, CA Technologies Developer
Products. "CA provides one of the broadest portfolio of microservices
and API management solutions - from design and development to deployment
and management - supporting application agility and scale for
competitive advantage."
New Capabilities for Microservices Creation and Management
The ability to create and manage microservices deployed using
container-based technology is required in today's modern application
architecture. CA supports Docker® container-based deployment of CA
Live API Creator and CA
API Gateway for microservices creation, security and management. CA
also has expanded its powerful, yet easy point-and-click solution, CA
Live API Creator, to quickly produce comprehensive microservices
incorporating data, logic and robust APIs. In addition, the new CA
Microgateway, currently available in beta, helps enforce local policies
for microservices, such as service discovery, routing, last mile
security and rate limiting.
Beachbody, a leading provider of fitness, nutrition and weight-loss
programs, used CA's products and services to help transform its IT
architecture. "We recently went through a three-year project to
modernize a wide range of infrastructure and applications to give us the
agility to meet rapidly changing market conditions," said Michael Lee,
Technology vice president at Beachbody. "We chose a cloud-first and
API-driven approach to continue leveraging existing business critical
systems while developing the architecture to quickly create modern
applications using microservices."
Expanded Full Lifecycle API Management Capabilities Support Modern
Application Architectures
CA's newly architected CA API Developer Portal gives organizations the
flexibility to manage APIs wherever and however they want - on-premises,
hybrid or cloud - with the ability to switch among them seamlessly. The
containerized, API-first architecture eases deployment and migration to
the cloud, and simplifies management, policy configuration and
integration with existing analytics and content management system
investments.
New capabilities and integration between CA Mobile API Gateway and CA
Advanced Authentication accelerate the development of mobile security
while delivering risk-based security from the mobile app to the API. A
new, unified mobile SDK helps developers easily integrate authentication
requirements while maintaining a streamlined experience for end users.
In addition, CA APM integration with CA API Management provides
visibility into API and app performance metrics with transaction tracing
for precise triangulation and resolution of performance issues.
"Agility and time-to-market for new and compelling apps are essential to
compete in the market. CA API Management has demonstrated it can help
take ideas and turn them into viable solutions quickly," said Joe
Farrell, Chief Product Officer and co-founder of BiTE Interactive, a
mobile product studio. "For example, working with CA API Management we
were able to complete the single sign-on feature for an app in just one
sprint. When we built this feature without CA API Management for a large
financial client, it required four sprints."
