Overview

Today’s enterprise IT landscapes are increasingly distributed, with specialized gateways, on-prem and multicloud deployments, and multiple users, causing more fragmentation than ever before. Gaining control over this complexity is critical to reducing risk and maintaining the agility, resilience, security and scale necessary to succeed. 

Unlike siloed integration consoles, the IBM® webMethods hybrid control plane offers a single place to manage and govern across IBM, third-party and hybrid runtimes. Organizations can gain deep visibility and governance across APIs, events and integrations, whether running on-premises, in multicloud environments, or at the edge. With MQ transactions now observable on the hybrid control plane, integration teams can now build, optimize and simplify complex integrations with confidence.

Manage complex integrations with ease

The hybrid control plane provides end-to-end monitoring to help teams trace and manage APIs, events, messaging, integrations and more across diverse tools and hybrid environments.
