The iWave Design Studio provides an intuitive drag-and-drop interface to create and modify iWave Accelerators. Designers select from a palette of automation components, drag them onto the workspace, and use the point-and-click graphical editor to connect them. Defined processes can be reused in other workflows and integrate easily with existing and new systems using standard scripting interfaces (SNMP, JMX, WMI, IPMI). The studio also supports the creation of a new, custom adapter for orchestration. iWave Design Studio Features:

Simplified Wizard-Driven Workflow Design

• Out-of-the-box palette of IT elements, including servers, devices, applications and management tools
• No programming experience is required to automate IT workflows. Context-sensitive wizards make work easy by specifying values and parameters
• “Drag and Click” connection editor
• Dynamic Query wizards (based on system events) for interrogating IT elements – Comprehensive tooltips for workflow steps and workflow links
• Intuitive “spreadsheet-style” wizard formula builder that allows the user to define workflow behavior based on system event values at runtime

Enhanced Workflow Organization

• Pictorial view of relationships between IT elements and associated workflows for easy navigation
• Comprehensive drag/drop, cut/copy/paste, selection, and expand/collapse features promote rapid workflow construction and ease of maintenance
• Run-time binding allows workflows to be designed independently of specific IT elements and re-used (for example, a workflow to provision a virtual server can be developed independently and associated later with a specific virtualization technology such as VMware or IBM LPARs)

Support for Powerful Workflows

• Graphical representation of even the most complex IT workflows with support for steps, loops, concurrency, workflow joins, splits and more
• A Workflow “Situation Analyzer” to easily manage multiple-event correlation from different sources
• "Expert Mode" features for experienced Java programmers

Quick and Easy Integrations

• Encapsulating existing system scripts (Visual Basic, Java, C-shell, etc.) directly into workflows
• Integration with external IT data center and ITSM vice desk applications
