Sonoa provides the visibility, management, and governance required to make Cloud services and APIs as robust, compliant, and scalable as internal on-premise applications and has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the visionaries quadrant of the “Magic Quadrant for Integrated SOA Governance Technology Sets”.
Sonoa ServiceNet is deployed as a proxy between service providers (such as an API) and consumers (such as an enterprise application or mashup), serving as a single point of control over service policy.
Sonoa uses a network-router design that supports the high concurrency required by the Cloud with extremely low latency. It is configured and administered without writing code and available as either software, a hardware appliance or a cloud service.
KEY FEATURES:
Secure Access Control. ServiceNet provides granular control over security policies and access for customer-facing Web services:
Interoperability. ServiceNet provides network-based mediation and transformations to enable immediate customer on-boarding without any development.
Scalability. The ServiceNet appliance employs hardware acceleration to deliver networking-level throughput, providing scalability and performance to help meet SLAs with powerful capabilities.
Network or Virtual appliance. Eliminates the cost and complexity of building, deploying, and maintaining software hosted on multiple servers, saving development resources and lowering the total cost of ownership

Apigee is a website that can give you analytics and throttling for APIs. Think of it kind of as a cross between “Google Analytics for APIs” and an API circuit-breaker that will protect your app from any traffic spike on your API. It’s ‘freemium’ , self-service API management.
Apigee works by giving you a proxy that takes metrics and enforces rate-limiting and other policies on your API traffic as it flows. So if you offer an open API - you can use Apigee between your API and customers to provide usage statistics and protect your back end with API throttling. Or if you have an application that uses an API, such as an iPhone app or a mashup - you can create a proxy for an API you are using in the app (such as Yahoo Local’s search API) and hit the API through your Apigee proxy to get alerts if that API is not working as it should. Or to double-check if your service is delivering to SLA or if someone is billing you for API usage.
