Data Integration
The Application Router can implement an integration solution from scratch or leverage an existing EAI infrastructure. The Application Router is a fully-integrated solution that combines connectivity, data transformation, content-based routing, and first-class management all in one appliance that plugs easily into your network. With the Application Router, you can share data between databases, enterprise applications, XML data sources, legacy systems, and flat files.
Simple Integration
Cast Iron Systems built the Application Router from the ground up, tightly coupling software and hardware design. Instead of installing multiple pieces of software, worrying about compatibility issues, and tracking hardware requirements, you can just connect a network cable to the Application Router, complete the network configurations, and begin designing your integration solution. The Application Router does not require any additional hardware or software. It’s that simple.
First-Class Management
With the Application Router, you have visibility into all aspects of your integration project. A web-based management console allows you to remotely monitor and analyze data, system, and hardware status. If datatypes don’t match, a network connection is lost, or a hard drive stops working, you’ll know.
Unlimited Scalability
You are not limited by software or hardware incompatibilities, cumbersome installations, or deployment complications. There is no limit to the number of Application Routers you can add to your network. The Application Router provides one point of management and design tools that make it simple to reuse and deploy existing integration projects to additional Application Routers.
Cost Effectiveness
You do not have to deal with multiple vendors to make separate software and hardware purchases. With its remote management capabilities, the Application Router does not require a local IT staff for remote routers. At a fraction of the cost of traditional integration solutions, the Application Router provides a positive return on investment within 6 months.
