Red Hat Launches Fuse 7 and Expands Cloud-Native Integration Portfolio with New iPaaS Offering
June 2018 by Marc Jacob
Red Hat, Inc. announced the availability of Red Hat Fuse 7, the next major release of its
distributed, cloud-native integration solution, and introduced a new fully hosted low-code
integration Platform-as-a-Service (iPaaS) offering, Fuse Online. With Fuse 7, Red Hat is expanding its
innovative integration capabilities natively to Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, the industry’s
most comprehensive enterprise Kubernetes platform. Fuse gives customers a unified solution for
creating, extending and deploying containerized integration services across hybrid cloud
environments.
The ability to quickly and efficiently integrate custom and packaged applications across the hybrid
cloud can be a competitive differentiator for organizations today. Now with an iPaaS offering, Fuse
enables diverse users such as integration experts, application developers, and non-technical citizen
integrators to independently participate in the integration process using a single platform, while
maintaining compliance with corporate governance and processes.
The latest release introduces a browser-based graphical interface with low-code drag-and-drop
capabilities that enable business users and developers alike to more rapidly integrate applications
and services using more than 200 predefined connectors and components. These components are
based on Apache Camel and include more than 50 new connectors for big data, cloud services, and
SaaS endpoints, which organizations can adapt and scale for legacy systems, APIs, IoT devices, and
cloud-native applications. Customers can also extend services and integrations for use by third-party
providers and partners.
By taking advantage of capabilities in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, Fuse offers greater
productivity and manageability in private, public or hybrid clouds. This native OpenShift-based
experience provides portability for services and integrations across runtime environments and
enables diverse users to work more collaboratively.
Fuse can be deployed alongside Red Hat 3scale API Management, Red Hat’s award-winning API
management offering, to add capabilities for security, monetization, rate limiting, and community
features around services composed from Fuse or elsewhere. Combined with Red Hat OpenShift
Container Platform, Fuse and 3scale API Management form the foundation of Red Hat’s agile
integration architecture. 3scale API Management 2.2, released May 2018, introduced new tools for
graphical configuration of policies, policy extensibility and shareability, and expanded TLS support—
all to make it easier for business users to implement their organizations API program.
Leading organizations from around the world, such as Dirección Nacional de Migraciones de la
República Argentina and Lufthansa Technik have deployed Red Hat’s integration technologies, such
as Fuse and 3scale API Management, to more quickly, easily and reliably integrate systems across
their hybrid cloud environments.
