[![](http://kinlane-productions.s3.amazonaws.com/api-service-providers/layer7-logo.png)](http://www.layer7tech.com/products/xml-gateway-overview "Layer7 Technolies XML Gateway")Enterprise API providers can use 3scale's plugin to issue API keys, policies and access rights that can be pushed and pulled between security gateways and 3scale's management dashboards.

Layer7 XML Gateway can be deployed on-premise, in a private or public cloud. With this new partnership 3Scale offers the same deployment flexibility for their API management solution.

The partnership gives 3Scale a leg up with the enterprise with a more robust, secure enterprise API gateway, and Layer7 gains a management suite to offer their API customers. It's a win for both of them, creating a very strong [enterprise API solution](http://apievangelist.com/2011/06/22/what-challenges-do-api-service-providers-face-in-the-enterprise-space/ "Enterprise API Solution").
