Cloud Integration Platform

A Cloud Integration Platform is a integration platform that can be used to create cloud connectivity solutions (that support cross-system data exchange tasks).

• Context:
  • It can typically connect Cloud Service with cloud integration connectors and cloud integration interfaces.
  • It can typically facilitate Data Exchange between cloud applications and on-premises systems through cloud integration workflows.
  • It can typically transform Cross-System Data using cloud integration mapping tools.
  • It can typically orchestrate Business Process across disparate systems through cloud integration automations.
  • It can typically manage API through cloud integration gateways and cloud integration management interfaces.
  • ...
  • It can often provide Real-Time Integration through cloud integration event triggers.
  • It can often implement Integration Governance through cloud integration monitoring capabilitys.
  • It can often support Multi-Cloud Strategy through cloud integration hybrid connectors.
  • It can often enable Legacy System Integration through cloud integration adaptors.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Cloud Integration Platform to being a Complex Cloud Integration Platform, depending on its cloud integration capability scope.
  • It can range from being a Specialized Cloud Integration Platform to being a General-Purpose Cloud Integration Platform, depending on its cloud integration target domain.
  • It can range from being a Basic Cloud Integration Platform to being an Enterprise Cloud Integration Platform, depending on its cloud integration scalability requirement.
  • ...
  • It can have Cloud Integration Development Tools for cloud integration solution creation.
  • It can provide Cloud Integration Monitoring Dashboard for cloud integration performance tracking.
  • It can support Cloud Integration Security Protocols for cloud integration secure data transfer.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Cloud Integration Platform Provider Categories, such as:
    • Major Cloud Provider Integration Platforms, such as:
      • Google Cloud Application Integration for google cloud native connectivity.
      • Microsoft Logic Apps for azure native integration workflows.
      • IBM App Connect for ibm cloud integration solutions.
    • Independent Integration Platform as a Services, such as:
      • MuleSoft Anypoint Platform for enterprise-scale cloud integration.
      • Workato for intuitive cloud workflow automation.
      • Boomi for hybrid integration patterns.
      • SnapLogic for robust cloud and on-premises integration.
      • TIBCO Cloud Integration for data-centric integration strategies.
    • Specialized Integration Platform as a Services, such as:
      • Zapier for simple cloud application connectivity.
      • Celigo Integration Platform for saas application integration.
      • Tray.io for ai-powered integration workflows.
      • ONEiO for subscription-based it tool integration.
      • Frends iPaaS for european business integration needs.
  • Cloud Integration Platform Feature Categories, such as:
    • Cloud Integration Connector Types, such as:
      • SaaS Integration Connector for cloud-to-cloud integration.
      • On-Premises System Connector for cloud-to-on-premises integration.
    • Cloud Integration Security Features, such as:
      • Data Encryption Capability for secure data transmission.
      • Identity Federation Support for unified access control.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • API Management Platform, which focuses on api lifecycle management rather than comprehensive system integration.
  • Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) Tool, which specializes in batch data processing rather than real-time integration workflow.
  • Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), which is typically on-premises middleware rather than cloud-based integration service.
  • Integration Broker, which usually handles point-to-point integration rather than multi-system orchestration.
  • Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Platform, which automates user interface interactions rather than system-to-system data exchange.
