London, UK, and Palo Alto, California, USA, September 10th, 2007 –
Paremus, developer of the Infiniflow™ Enterprise Service Fabric (ESF), and
Kapow Technologies, a market leader in Web 2.0 mashup server software,
today announced a partnership agreement that will deliver dynamically
deployable, scalable mashup services with enhanced resilience.
Mashups represent a new development approach to building composite
applications and enable easier, faster integration of existing
applications. The Kapow Mashup Server™ product family developed by Kapow
Technologies allows a wide variety of structured and unstructured data
sources to be easily turned into mashup feeds and services. These feeds
and services are then delivered as a variety of business solutions
utilizing different mashup styles.
"Our patented, intuitive visual scripting approach allows developers
and knowledge workers to build and deploy mashups in a fraction of the
time and cost of traditional software development," said Stefan Andreasen,
founder and CTO of Kapow Technologies. "Working together with Paremus, we
have OSGi™-enabled the Kapow Mashup Server, making it dynamically
deployable and manageable across the Infiniflow Enterprise Service
Fabric."
Infiniflow provides a service-oriented middleware fabric with a
dynamic, distributed runtime to allow the rapid deployment and automatic
optimization and management of applications on commodity hardware.
Organizations with Infiniflow can take advantage of modular application
development with OSGi technology and model-based, automated operational
management with SCA (Service Component Architecture), in order to satisfy
business requirements and control costs.
With Infiniflow, it is easy to install and scale instances of the Kapow
Mashup Server on the service fabric. Infiniflow then monitors the runtime
fabric and ensures pre-defined service levels are maintained by
automatically deploying a replacement instance should a Kapow Mashup
Server become unavailable due, for example, to hardware
failure.
"This solution is perfect for any enterprise that
needs to collect unstructured data from a variety of sources," said
Richard Nicholson, CEO and founder of Paremus. "Our partnership with Kapow
Technologies provides the optimum combination, with Infiniflow providing
back-end dynamic assemble and scale-out capabilities for composite
applications that directly complement Kapow Technologies' leading
front-end Web 2.0 mashup serving capability."
Example deployments include information gathering within Defense and
Intelligence Agencies and semantically enhanced automated trading in the
Finance sector.
Kapow Mashup Server solutions are available commercially from Kapow
Technologies and via the openkapow open source developer community (http://www.openkapow.com/).
Infiniflow is available commercially from Paremus and via the codeCauldron
open source community as the Newton Project (http://www.codecauldron.org/).
