IBM API Gateway Solution Overview For VaaP Project - V0.2

The document proposes an API gateway solution using IBM API Gateway Connect Enterprise and IBM DataPower Gateway Virtual Edition. Key points: 1. IBM API Gateway Connect Enterprise will be used to create, manage, deploy, scale, socialize and monitor APIs. It will integrate with IBM DataPower Gateway Virtual Edition to provide API security, traffic management and optimization. 2. IBM DataPower Gateway Virtual Edition will act as the virtual API gateway, providing security and integration capabilities for mobile, web and application APIs. 3. HCL will perform activities like infrastructure design, procurement, installation, setup, configuration and knowledge transfer to transition to business as usual operations.

IBM API Gateway solution Overview for VaaP project

2016-03-31 HCL VaaP Middleware


Version 0.1
Vipps 1.x – Existing Setup
Proposed API Gateway Solution

1. IBM API Gateway Connect Enterprise (API Management)


• Create, Manage, deploy, scale, socialize & monitor APIs
• Integrate all API Connect editions with IBM DataPower Gateway Virtual Edition with a minimum firmware
level of Version 7.5. This enables DataPower to act as the API Gateway to provide API security, traffic
management, mediation, and optimization capabilities in a secure, highly consumable virtual appliance
• Support for the clustering of a large number of nodes within a single datacenter and also across multiple
datacenters..

2. IBM Datapower Gateway Virtual Edition (DataPower Software Appliance)


• IBM DataPower Gateway Virtual Edition provides a single, security-hardened and highly consumable virtual
gateway. It acts as a security and integration gateway for a range of mobile, web & application programming
interfaces (APIs)
Overall API Management activities
• HCL
• Create Design
• Topology, number of instances
• Sizing
• Test environments
• Infra design; Network, Storage, Servers, VMware
• Procurement if required
• Installation and setup (High-level activities in next slides)
• Configure monitoring
• Create Runbook
• Knowledge Transfer and Handover to BAU
IBM API Gateway Connect Enterprise (high level setup tasks)

• Install a Web browser (Mandatory)


• IE 11/Mozilla 38/Chrome 45/Safari 9
• Prep a Hosting Environment (Mandatory)
• VMWare ESXi 6.x hypervisor
• For SOAP Service discovery, WebSphere Service Registry and Repository V7.0, and later, is required
• node.js at a minimum version of v0.12.0 & Java to create the Microservices by using unified Java and Node
operations and management.
• Use of the API toolkit requires either of Windows 7/RHEL 7/SUSE Enterprise Linux Server (SLES) 12/Ubuntu
LTS 14.04/ OS X 10.10
IBM DataPower Gateway Virtual Edition (high level setup
tasks)
Infra Tasks
• Setup VMWare ESXi 6.x hypervisor with 16 virtual CPU cores, 96GB RAM
• Deploy OVA (Open Virtualization Archive) file on the above VMWare ESXi 6.x hypervisor which will install
DataPower.
• Start the VM (virtual machine) with the hypervisor product interface.
• Modify resource allocation (virtual CPU allocation on OVA to 16) in the hypervisor product interface.
• Security and threat protection configuration
• Configure Citrix NetScalar load balancers(inner & outer) to load balance the requests to IBM DataPower
Gateway. Note that the entire setup should ideally be in DMZ heavily guarded by firewalls.
• Setup and maintain certificate revocation and expiry date list
• Monitor QoS of services to adhere to SLA
• Manage environment specific values as server address (E.g. towards MQ, ISAM)
• Handling of public key infrastructure
Note : DataPower NICs need to be mapped to the VMware virtual network adapters.
IBM DataPower Gateway Virtual Edition (high level setup
tasks) continued…
Development Tasks:
• Analyse & move existing web service Integration web services/URIs from Intel SOAE to IBM DataPower
Gateway. Integrations involved can be but not limited to XSLT transformations, content renderings such as
XML to HTML transformation, encryption/decryption, digital signatures, filtering, schema validations, dynamic
routing.
• Example: SOAE Integration with SMS Gateway for DNB VIPPS solution (P2P-vipps (1404)
• IBM DataPower Gateway features an ”XML Firewall” component which supports a robust authentication and
authorization engine, with built-in integration for a wide variety of policy servers such as LDAP. It needs to be
evaluated how Intel SOAE performs this today for Vipps.
• IBM DataPower Gateway features an ”Multi-Protocol Gateway” component which provides support for several
protocols such as http, https, JMS & MQ to name a few.
• New MQ channels will need to be defined (HCL) between IBM DataPower Gateway and MQ proxy queue
managers to allow internet & intranet traffic to flow through.
• Setup new security certificates as per latest standards for the integrations on IBM DataPower Gateway.
