Massive mashups

Kapow Technologies has announced Kapow Mashup Server 6.5. Kapow claims the software features new capabilities that make it easy for customers to leverage a RoboServer Management API to monitor RoboServer performance through standard systems management tools such as IBM Tivoli and HP Openview.

The new API also allows the creation of sophisticated scheduling systems to better load balance robot executions, says Kapow. In addition to improved enterprise manageability, Mashup Server 6.5 further extends its market leadership with custom data feeds for service enablement and composite applications.

Now, customers can continue to innovate with Web services by creating any custom RSS feed imaginable, including ones using geography and rich media. Kapow Technologies has also increased support for complex AJAX libraries such as Prototype and JQuery. These added capabilities are in response to the growing number of dynamic JavaScript and AJAX-powered Web sites, which are virtually impossible to extract data from without proper tools, says Kapow.
