Free Enterprise Mashup Software by the Developer, for the Developer

We've spent the last couple years at JackBe designing and building our enterprise mashup product from the ground up.  We’ve won some nice awards, introduced some genuine innovations (like our Enterprise Mashup markup Language, which just passed it's 1-year anniversary) and, most importantly, been blessed with some great customers. 

And now we’ve taken our 2+ years of hard work and made it available for free as the Presto Developer Edition and our Mashup Developer Community (which we lovingly refer to as 'the MDC').  We want all of you to take Presto for a spin and let us know your thoughts.

One notable developer who has given Presto a try is Steve Graham, Senior Technologist in the Office of the CTO at EMC.  He’s created an intriguing mashup that tackles some common issues in the datacenter.  And I think Steve’s perspective is representative of many long-tail business problems outside the datacenter as well. 

 

In his screencast of an enterprise mashup that supports IT/Data Center resource management, Steve points out that many problems in the data center require the synthesis of both modeled and non-modeled information.  Additionally, Steve discusses how these sorts of mashups require a server-centric approach to support the joining of disparate information sources with the desired level of security and performance.

 

I certainly agree with Steve’s technical assessment.  But he also underscores a broader point: organizations that have many systems will need solutions that can bring them together.  JackBe is happy that our new Presto Developer Edition provides an answer...and it's free!!!
