Nastel Technologies announced the immediate availability of Nastel Navigator on Azure Marketplace.
Nastel Navigator enables customers to dramatically reduce the operational risk of delivering a multi-cloud digital strategy by taking charge of their messaging backbone of IBM MQ, Apache Kafka and its variants, and TIBCO EMS.
The solution enables Azure-centric customers, as well as customers with legacy infrastructures migrating to Azure and multi-cloud, to manage and automate their middleware-powered deployments through their entire business, boost productivity and overall efficiency of administrators, engineering, and operations teams to ensure smooth, uninterrupted delivery of mission-critical digital services.
Customers can lock down access to the middleware with a highly granular level of access control, with auditing, approvals, LDAP integration, roll-back, and managing at scale from a single point. Furthermore, this powerful access security enables the application teams to see and work on their environment without any risk of affecting anyone else. Locking it down opens it up to secure self-service, removing the middleware team from being a bottleneck in application development and support and enabling business solutions to be delivered to market faster.
Nastel Cloud Services Director Sam Garforth says, “... Azure Marketplace makes it far easier to deploy and update our software and allows them to migrate their middleware to Azure with confidence.”
Nastel Navigator and the Nastel platform integrate with DevOps automation technologies such as Ansible, Terraform, Chef, Puppet, CloudFormation, and Git, enabling the reliable repeatable deployment of infrastructure as code along with the secure governance that Navigator provides.
Navigator is also valuable for application developers and testers, allowing them to easily create test messages, search for lost messages, and move misplaced ones.
