The ubiquity of APIs today not only speaks to the power of the technology to unlock critical information spread throughout disparate systems and data, but also their role in shifting the way organizations conduct business in the digital era.

Gartner's Magic Quadrants are based on analysis of a vendor's completeness of vision and ability to execute. According to Gartner, “It is impossible to provide the platform for any digital strategy, build ecosystems and run an effective API program, without full life cycle API management.”

3scale API Management is an award-winning platform designed to provide end-to-end application programming interface (API) management capabilities on premise or across public, private or hybrid cloud environments. Red Hat 3scale API Management includes features for security management, access control, rate limits, monetization, and rich developer experience tools, as well as robust API performance analytics and reporting capabilities. API management delivers one of the core elements of an agile integration methodology, alongside distributed integration and containerization, which together represent an innovative and powerful approach to more quickly and easily integrate new applications and services with business data and legacy applications.
