Target Clients Enterprise customers with high API call volumes. Clients which require the premium use cases (see backup slide for details. ) What is APIC- aaS “Advanced tier”? What is "APIC- aaS Advanced tier”? It’s a new tier of the existing APIC SaaS offering on AWS which includes every features in the base tier plus additional premium use cases ( xslt , GatewayScript , and more) This is an IBM - managed single-tenant gateway architecture built on top of the existing multi-tenant offering. Why we need “APIC – aaS Advanced tier”? Since APIC- aaS on AWS launch in June 2022, we’ve learned a portion of our target market require additional premium use cases (ex: support for XSLT, GatewayScript , private connectivity and more) These use cases cannot be delivered securely in our purely multi-tenant gateway architecture. And not all customers who require these premium use cases need the full dedicated stack to pay for Reserved Instance offering
