The Cast Iron Integration Appliance connects salesforce.com to a wide variety of enterprise applications, databases, flat-files, and on-demand applications. Using a "configuration, not coding" approach for connecting applications not only enables rapid implementations, but also eliminates the need to touch the endpoints. The appliance provides a graphical UI to transform data between source and target applications, and provides automatic completeness checks. A workflow process can be defined using drag-and-drop logical functions. And, a single web-based console provides complete visibility to data flowing through the appliance and enables complete management of the integrations.
The Cast Iron Integration Appliance provides three components to configure, deploy and manage your application integration projects.
Cast Iron Studio (Studio) is at the heart of the easy-to-use design experience offered by Cast Iron's Integration Appliances. Studio provides a graphical environment for you to configure integration data flows called workflows or orchestrations. Studio allows you to create these workflows by dragging and dropping activities into a design window. Once designed, these workflows can be published to the appliance with a single click.
Combining ease-of-use with robust functionality, the purpose-built Run-time Appliance brings high performance and reliability to your integration solution. With easy scalability and complete security, the appliance is self-contained and has everything needed to complete your integrations.
The Web Management Console (WMC) is a simple-to-use environment where you deploy integration projects, and then securely monitor and manage these integrations. The Web Management Console also manages all deployment assets related to the integration for you. These assets could include the WSDL definition for a web service to invoke your integration or database scripts to send database events to the Cast Iron Integration Appliance.
