The Cast Iron adapter provides first-class integration with all of the cloud-based, hardware appliance, or software-based hypervisor editions of IBM WebSphere Cast Iron.
By using IBM WebSphere Cast Iron, companies can integrate applications, regardless of whether the applications are located on-premises or in public or private clouds. With WebSphere Cast Iron, you do not need any programming knowledge to integrate applications. You can build integration flows in WebSphere Cast Iron Studio, which is a graphical development environment that is installed on a personal computer. With Cast Iron Studio, you can create an integration project that contains one or more orchestrations. Each orchestration is built with a number of activities that define the flow of data. You can define the details of an activity from the configuration panes within Cast Iron Studio.
Figure 1 shows how the topology changes to reflect the use of Cast Iron.
