What is IBM CP4I?
IBM Cloud Pak For Integration is a hybrid integration solution that provides an automated and closed-loop lifecycle across multiple styles of enterprise integration. With IBM Cloud Pak for Integration, companies can speed integration development by 300%, reduce costs by more than 33% and maintain enhanced security, governance, and availability.

CP4I Features

- Package of integration products IBM MQ, ACE/IIB, DataPower, Event Streams (Kafka), API Connect, Aspera
- Licensing – you can move from MQ on-prem to MQ in the cloud to Kafka and reallocate your licensing without paying more
- Red Hat OpenShift – CP4I runs on IBM’s container platform, enabling you to move your application and middleware from on-prem to cloud without rebuilding, etc.
Secure Middleware Management & Migration

Reduce the risk of migrating your middleware to CP4I. Nastel Navigator X provides secure automated administration for IBM MQ, Apache Kafka, IBM Event Streams, IBM Integration Bus, and IBM App Connect Enterprise.
It delivers a much higher level of granularity of access control than out-of-the-box products. This security enables the application teams to see and work on their environment without any risk of affecting anyone else. Locking it down actually opens it up. This removes the middleware team from being a bottleneck in application development and support and means that finance products can be delivered to the market faster.
Monitoring, Observability, and Alerting

- Monitor end-to-end performance, availability, topologies, and message flows across CP4I and beyond!
- See deep inside queues & topics
- Proactively catch problems and bottlenecks before they impact digital services
