Integration Infrastructure Management
Integration Infrastructure is the nervous system of every digitally integrated business carrying digital signals within and across the business ecosystem.
This infrastructure, often referred to as middleware, is the fabric that powers modern organizations and when it fails – business fails.
Effective management of Integration Infrastructure reduces operational risk, increases agility and enables new business opportunities.

Moving Middleware to the Cloud
If you are moving your middleware to the cloud, or adding additional middleware into one or more cloud environments, you need the Nastel Platform
The Nastel Platform is designed to provide messaging middleware administrators (also known as shared services teams) with the ability to manage their entire messaging middleware estate across every platform, including mainframe, distributed datacenters and clouds.
When applications are moved to new virtualized (cloud) environments, the integrations established within your messaging middleware applications must be maintained.
Depending on the business need you will have chosen:
- Move your messaging middleware application to the cloud entirely,
- Created an additional new messaging middleware instance in the cloud,
- Kept your messaging system in place and just connected it to your cloud applications.
- You may have chosen to include an additional new variant of messaging middleware for your cloud applications (such as Kafka, Active MQ or Rabbit MQ).
- Whichever choice you take, the Nastel Platform can provide you with consistent management across your whole environment.
Self-Service
Allowing developers secure and private access to their messaging systems while allowing admins to maintain full control.
The Nastel platform provides a web based portal that is controlled by the shared services (Middleware) administration team, and allows developers full access to just their own assigned queues and messages. This self-service function allows thousands of developers direct immediate access to their own queues without the need to log a service request.
This can reduce the time to delivery for new apps and updates by weeks. Businesses find this solution can have an immediate positive impact on the TTM.
