SHARE Live! - API Management as a Foundational Business Service

Project and Program: Enterprise Data Center, Integrating Innovative Technologies

Tags: Proceedings, SHARE Atlanta 2016, 2016

API Management is emerging as a foundational need for businesses worldwide. The growth of traffic through APIs rather than traditional web sites drives this need. API management enables businesses to create, proxy, assemble, secure, scale, and socialize APIs quickly and easily. Enterprises that run their core business services on the mainframe are now looking for ways to make those services easily discoverable and consumable as APIs, for both internal and external use.  The z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition solution builds on capabilities introduced in z/OS Connect v1 and extends them with a powerful API tooling framework to enable truly RESTful capabilities with APIs described using the Open API Initiative (formerly swagger 2.0 specification).-Kyle Charlet-IBM
