This Digital Business which is looking to deliver new Digital Services, Products and Experiences face a lot of challenges
As more applications and data move to the cloud, application leaders face increasingly complex integration requirements: within the same cloud, across different clouds and with on-premises endpoints.
Supporting these diverse topologies – a hybrid integration platform and strategy has become crucial because:
1. Established on-prem integration platforms are not able to address the new digital and cloud integration requirements
2. Although iPaaS, iSaaS and API tools support these new needs, they require new specialized skills and do not support integration content portability across each other in multi-cloud and on-prem scenarios
3. One-platform for all Integration scenarios remains sub-optimal - Although it is technically possible to achieve, it is not a realistic proposition for organizations with complex integration challenges
Additionally application leaders in charge of integration are under pressure to integrate digital transformation projects involving the cloud, mobility, IoT, and APIs.
About Platform Providers and Vendors:
Many integration platform providers are trying to formulate a coherent integration platform capable of fully supporting multi-cloud service integration requirements.
Several are still working hard to consolidate multiple generations of technologies, such as ESBs, data integration tools, B2B gateway software, MFT platforms, iPaaS offerings and API management platforms.
They may not yet have reached the optimal combination of functionality and even maturity and production readiness for all the component parts, meaning that the one-vendor approach remains suboptimal.
Application leaders in charge of integration are under pressure to reshape their integration infrastructure strategy in order to tackle the new "pervasive" integration challenges stemming from digital transformation projects that involve the cloud, mobility, the IoT and API integration.
The hybrid integration platform (HIP) is a framework of on-premises and cloud-based integration and governance capabilities that enables differently skilled personas (integration specialists and nonspecialists) to support a wide range of integration use cases (see picture above).
An organization's HIP is usually implemented by assembling a variety of technology building blocks, from one or more providers, which are managed as a cohesive, federated and integrated whole. Responsibility for HIP management is well-defined.
Typical HIP building blocks include:
• On-premises application and data integration platforms, such as ESBs, ETL tools, B2B Gateway Software, message oriented middleware and the likes.
• integration platform as a service (iPaaS)
• Full life cycle API management platforms (APIM)
• integration software as a service (iSaaS)
• other use case specific components, such as, managed file transfer, IoT platforms and mobile back-end services
As many enterprises move from on-premises only to cloud-based solutions and redefine who does the integration work (not just specialists within IT, but now line-of-business and casual integrators), the hybrid integration platform (HIP) is becoming more important in creating a robust, forward-looking capabilities model.
A Hybrid Integration Platform (HIP) permits on-premise applications to seamlessly and securely integrate with cloud-based applications. This permits your IT Team to quick track development and improve efficiency and lower the risk factors in accomplishing Digital Integration.
Why Hybrid Cloud Integration
Organizations have re-defined their integration strategy to liaison between legacy systems and cloud technologies. Converting to an out and out cloud platform is not a viable solution for all enterprises, nor continuing the on-premise legacy systems. Hybrid Cloud Integration is a perfect pitch for businesses to integrate legacy on-premise systems with cloud data. It helps to resolve many of the challenges businesses face when moving to the Cloud.
Hybrid Integration:
Ensures Regulatory Compliance: Regulatory compliance prevents businesses from adopting full cloud Integration. Some country specific data protection laws forbid data from leaving its source and sometimes certain confidential data must remain behind the enterprise firewall. Hybrid integration provides the perfect solution by giving companies more control to how their data is handled.
Security & Privacy: Organizations can determine the kind of data that should stay behind the firewall and which can be operated on the cloud. This also helps businesses segregate and track data movement.
Fosters Innovation: Hybrid Integration provides an opportunity for businesses to incrementally deploy low-risk applications in small chunks to test the waters. This reduces the risk and grow the applications incrementally in cloud at their own pace.
Maximize Investment: To maximize the investment, it is important for organizations to combine both on-premise and cloud systems. The Hybrid Integration Layer allows businesses to work with newer applications in cloud while continue to drive the value from legacy applications.
What is Multi-Cloud?
The term multi-cloud typically refers to using more than one of the public cloud hosting providers in a organization Eg: AWS, Azure, GCP
Multi-Cloud vs Hybrid Cloud
Multi-cloud applications rely on more than one cloud provider
hybrid cloud is classified as an environment that uses a combination of different cloud and on-premises systems
Extra ------
What is Multi-Cloud Application Integration?
It is an Integration Strategy which enables integrating multiple public and private cloud environments via APIs leveraging iPaas Platforms
Many Organizations that are having their applications on the different cloud also want to integrate into different cloud environments and with the availability of multi-cloud management platform, organizations can reduce their dependency on a single cloud provider
Leveraging Kellton HIP strategy businesses can integrate to multi-cloud environments via API gateways. It is important not to confuse the term multi-cloud with hybrid cloud because these terms refer to two different aspects of cloud computing. Multi-Cloud use cases rely on more than one cloud provider, where as hybrid clouds are classified as an environment that uses a combination of different cloud and on-premise systems
Increased Productivity and Efficiency: organizations can significantly improve their productivity, efficiency and their businesses by using multiple clouds.
Improved Flexibility: Multi-cloud integration is ideal for the flexibility required to effectively complete different tasks.
Dynamic Pricing: Organizations that use multi-cloud integration have the benefit of switching between cloud applications with different pricing models.
Avoid Vendor Lock-In: Multi-cloud integration helps avoid costly situations while keeping cloud providers honest.
Enable Failovers and Disaster Recovery: Multi-cloud deployments usually include failovers between cloud providers for this reason. If there’s downtime with one provider, organizations can quickly shift their resources to another for high availability.

Via Designer, integration developers can now take existing services and via a couple clicks and built in CI/CD publish services directly to their cloud landscape .
The API Platform is made up of 4 components.
The API Portal for …
The API Gateway for …
These are the two primary components. In some cases, these are the only pieces of the platform you need to sell. In fact, these provide a complete set of features to handle API Management scenarios.
However, we also add two differentiating components.
The API Catalog, which you probably know as CentraSite, offers much broader governance and lifecycle management capabilities than our gateway, and what our competitors provide. Especially important is CentraSite’s ability to track dependencies across assets. What this means is that if you change an API, you could potentially be breaking several other APIs without even knowing it. CentraSite helps protect you from these kinds of mistakes. It also provides more design time governance than our competitors do. In some organizations that value process and governance, such as government organizations just to name an example, CentraSite (or our API Catalog) can be the piece that makes all the difference in winning a deal.
Finally, the API Consumption component is something you will not hear from other vendors. This component provides the ability to manage the consumption of APIs from other vendors. Consider, for example, that you are a company that is using Google Maps in one of your web products. Google Maps can be very expensive. How do you keep from accidentally building up a 7 figure bill from Google? You limit how many times you can call the API. You monitor it and you set thresholds on how much you consume the API. The product that supports this functionality is webMethods CloudStreams, which we typically sell as a means to connect to cloud-based APIs. Several customers and analysts have recognized this important differentiator for Software AG—one customer called it reverse monetization, meaning that it is preventing the company from losing money on other people’s APIs.
Now let’s look at how the functionality fits into the DBP.
Need for microgateways: support for distributed microservices arch, Not to overload main gateways, Reduce impact from routing whole traffic though one gateway, Support east-west traffic and Smaller gateway footprint
New – self contained java app with headless implementation using custom java profile
Form factor: self contained java runtime or docker container with externalized config running on a micro linux host
Deployment: standalone, side by side and side car options (microgateway runs close to the business logic, scales together with microservice)
These are application level problems that the current service mesh platform does not solve and these problems must be solved if microservices are to provide real business value. If we are able to bridge this gap between the technical and the business world by leveraging all the great benefits that service mesh brings to microservices management, and complement them with application awareness, then we are looking at the next logical evolution of service mesh which is “AppMesh”
AppMesh symbolizes the convergence of Service Mesh, API Management and Integration technologies.
AppMesh extends the service mesh platform by providing application awareness through “APIfication” of the microservices. “APIfication” really means providing an API face to these microservices. With this, you can enable reuse, governance, consumption, landscape management & importantly drives API led integration of these microservices.
Template Repository
Import composite and micro templates from local repository or from the default SoftwareAG’s GitHub repository.

Saves Templates can be used in stacks and layers to create a new product installation.
DB Fix handling
With Composite template no additional needed for DB fixes
Use function “Apply database fixes without composite template modification”.
Encrypted password support
