IBM App Connect Enterprise introduction

IBM® App Connect Enterprise combines the existing, industry-trusted technologies of IBM Integration Bus with IBM App Connect Professional and with new cloud native technologies, to deliver a platform that supports the full breadth of integration needs across a modern digital enterprise.

Using the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit, you can develop integration solutions and deploy them to the dedicated runtime of IBM App Connect Enterprise and to App Connect on IBM Cloud. You can use an extensive range of administration and systems management options to manage your integration solutions. This documentation provides details about working with this core software, referred to simply as IBM App Connect Enterprise.

Using the capabilities of IBM App Connect Professional (bundled as part of IBM App Connect Enterprise), you can quickly connect hybrid environments that are comprised of public clouds, private clouds, and on-premises applications. You can develop integrations by using a "configuration, not coding" approach, with premade integration templates, and rich connectors to speed development time. For more information about working with App Connect Professional, see the IBM App Connect Professional documentation.

IBM App Connect Enterprise can also use an extensive range of SaaS connectors, which can run on premises using the bundled App Connect Professional software or on the cloud using IBM App Connect on IBM Cloud. This capability is only available if you have purchased IBM App Connect on IBM Cloud. For more information about working with App Connect on IBM Cloud, see the IBM App Connect on IBM Cloud docs in the IBM Integration community on developerWorks

You can use IBM App Connect Enterprise to connect applications together, regardless of the message formats or protocols that they support.

This connectivity means that your diverse applications can interact and exchange data with other applications in a flexible, dynamic, and extensible infrastructure. IBM App Connect Enterprise routes, transforms, and enriches messages from one location to any other location:

IBM App Connect Enterprise software can be installed directly on a physical machine running in your own Data Center, in a VMWare virtual machine, in a Docker image, as part of an IBM Cloud Private installation, or installed by you into a public cloud such as IBM Cloud, AWS, or Microsoft Azure. The Docker images can be easily scaled and managed by using orchestration frameworks, such as Kubernetes, alongside other components within a modern architecture.

Your interactions with IBM App Connect Enterprise can be considered in two broad categories:
