APIs
A-to-Zerto Glossary of Terms
What Is an API ?
An API is software that works to communicate and transmit data between computers or that allows users to interact with applications directly. An API may be custom built for a particular system, or it may be a shared standard among many systems. APIs exist for many purposes including programming languages, software libraries, computer operating systems, computer hardware, and the internet.
Why Use APIs?
APIs work to customize your computer system and to improve workflow efficiency. APIs enable you to automate your virtual infrastructure, allowing you to replace manual processes. Reducing manual tasks saves time on a wide variety of processes and eliminates any potential user errors.
APIs can help you achieve the full benefits of software-defined replication and recovery. With the right APIs, teams can build automated, sophisticated operations that take acquired testing data into account.
