NimbostratusHi Nathan, i still didn't understand if there will be an interaction between iWorkflow and BIG-IQ? At my company we have taken 2 licencies , one for iworkflow and the other for big-iq just for valuating the product. Can you explain by mean of a picture the interaction between those 2 components: big-iq and iworkflow. Can iworkflow be a standalone "device", independent from big-iq?

Hi Ledio,
There is currently no interaction between iWorkflow and BIG-IQ. Yes iWorkflow is designed to function as a standalone controller, independent of BIG-IQ. Do you have sometime this week for a demo or discussion? Mark
This is more a question of what operational model would you prefer. 1) automation, or 2) manual operation via a device management tool/controller.
iWorkflow is a platform that presents a catalog of service templates which can be deployed via the iWorkflow Tenant web interface, or the iControlREST API. This is VERY useful for automation. Device/feature management is abstracted from the deployment system.
On the other hand, BIG-IQ is for device management and is focussed on managing devices, features and settings.
The right tool depends on the operating model you wish to adopt. Are you wanting to automate deployments, or manage devices?
iWorkflow is a platform that enables automation/orchestration workflows. BIG-IQ is for device management, by people.
That help?
