Dublin-based Vordel has spun up a newfangled API Server offering the enterprise a single platform to deploy APIs to cloud services and mobile users.
The widgetry builds on its application gateway technologies.
The company sees it as a simpler, more agile way to deploy apps and a quicker way to drive revenue.
The APIs Vordel has in mind are the lightweight REST and JSON APIs used to enable mobile, web and cloud applications; SOAP APIs for SOA; and file-based interfaces for B2B integration.
Architecturally the API Server could replace or stand in front of an application server. It can be deployed in traditional data centers or in an elastic cloud environment, including public, private and hybrid clouds.
