Infrastructure Integration Management (i2M) Drives Gains for Complex Enterprises.

Nastel Navigator v10.3 Enables Speed-to-market, Competitive Advantages Across IBM MQ, IBM Integration Bus, IBM ACE, Kafka, TIBCO EMS, and i2 Estates.

Nastel Technologies, the leader in integration infrastructure management (i2M) solutions for complex enterprises, today announced the general availability of Nastel Navigator™ version 10.3, a vital component of The Nastel Platform and the Navigator X solution.

Nastel Navigator™ is the leading i2M and messaging middleware management and automation solution helping enterprises, including most of the world’s top global banks, to efficiently and securely manage and control their Integration Infrastructure (i2) layer in any combination of hybrid-cloud, multi-cloud and more traditional IT environments.

Speed-to-market is critical today, and middleware and i2 administrators can now securely delegate management tasks to development, DevOps, and QA (quality assurance) team users through a self-service web portal. This improves delivery times for new and existing applications while providing an audit trail of all the changes.
