Intel Acquires Mashery

They've had a partnership for a while where Intel provides API security and Mashery provides an API management portal. Not exactly sure how it works, but I know Intel API Expressway has been making some dev evangelism efforts around these products recently.

Intel also has a meaningful stake in Joyent which is sort of in the same solar system.

Mashery has developers but not the enterprise, so now intel can leverage its relationship and build on the offerings

The article this one rewrote explains the why much better.

It'd be kind of interesting if you dropped an api layer in the firmware more or less like ipmi but sharing the ethernet and using a modern style key and role approach. Use the same strategies to manage all your bare metal as you do to manage instances.

weird but a simpler answer would be that Intel is contemplating life, post-pc.
