In Novembers community of practice we covered a key topic of what is hybrid integration, and what it means with business context. How do you resolve cloud to on-premise connectivity in a secure way - look into IPSec and Proxy options along with MuleESB installation. As always lots of good interaction, so make sure you come along to Decembers event with a special VIP guest to be announced shortly.

6. • Hybrid Integration is the key to harmonised
and optimised integration solutions
• Hybrid Integration Platforms are becoming
the norm in complex enterprise landscapes
HYBRID
INTEGRATION
Hybrid
“a thing made by composing different
elements”

7. • Best of breed IT strategy led to multiple integration
technologies (organic design)
• ERP focused middleware products have not evolved to
cope with new requirements (SaaS, API)
• Integration solutions with multiple touchpoints
• Overlap between Data, Message and API integration
requirements
• Early concepts of integration brokerage led to hybrid
integration scenarios (partially outsourced)
• No choice! Policy, Security or cost driven?
WHY HYBRID?
Discussion Points:
Who is working with a hybrid
integration platform?
What do people think makes a
good hybrid platform?
Advantages/Disadvantages of
Hybrid?
Are IT leaders strategically
building hybrid platforms?

9. Hybrid Scenario

10. Hybrid Example
1
1. Material master data held in SoR (slow
moving hard to change)
2. Existing interface available on ESB (requires
modernisation)
3. Create API for key data fields (designed for
consumption at system level)
4. Interface flow created to share material
information with external suppliers
(deployed on cloud or prem)
5. Secure and safe data published to public
consumers for material information

12. Cloud – On-premise Hybrid Integration

13. THE CHALLENGE!
• Majority of enterprise data is still stored in on-premise applications.
• Moving all the legacy applications to cloud is not a viable option.
• Concerns around security and legal challenges warrants the need for an on-premise
architecture.
but…there is a need to expose
enterprise data securely with external
vendors, cloud & SaaS solutions, as well
as API consumers. On-premise
applications need to have the capability
to integrate outside the enterprise.

14. OPTION: IPSec VPN.
• Secure “always ON” connection
between sites.
• Relatively easy to manage and one
time setup requirements (in most
cases).
• If trusted end points then this option
suitable.
• Additional infrastructure may be
required on-premise to manage
secure connections.

IPSec VPN
Key Watchpoint: Security vulnerabilities that exist at the IP layer in the network could be passed to the
on-premise network across the IPSec tunnel.

15. OPTION: PROXY SERVICES.
• Reverse proxy exposed over the
internet as the single access point
which will perform authentication
• Routing rules ensure that only
predefined systems are given access
to
• Ability to revoke access on an
individual application/partner basis

Application B
On-Premise
Key Watchpoint: Higher effort in maintaining the service due to connection configuration requirements.

16. MULE ESB ON-PREMISE
SCENARIO.
• All connections routed via on-premise
Mule ESB
• On-premise Mule application ensures that
only predefined systems are given access
to
• Ability to revoke access on an individual
application/partner basis
• Allows full abstraction of the legacy
applications.

Key Watchpoint: Higher effort in implementing/maintaining the service on both CloudHub and MuleESB.
