SOA Application Gateways consolidate enterprise applications where they can be securely accessed under centrally enforceable policies by users within or outside the enterprise.
We’ve collected videos, features, and capabilities below. Take me there.
SOA application gateways are used for improved visibility, access, and control over service-oriented architectures (SOA). SOA products function around software architectural design products and services as a design pattern. Using application gateways allows users to have a meeting point between them and the SOA services.
In addition to serving as a meeting point, SOA application gateways also allow users to enhance security, provide technical services, and enforce their company business policies. The functions of application gateways are similar to application programming interfaces (API) and API management, which aid in the communication and transferring of information between applications. Application gateways likely will contain more security and rewriting features.

Ease of Use. Some of the application gateway products will have a steep learning curve and require time and effort from the user to gain full control and make the best out of all the advanced features.
