Ever since tools such as Pipes came on the scene, many techies, and VC's went on the sniff for some money. "Hmm, enterprises will get jealous, and will want to do mashups themselves". Of course, doing a mashup behind the intranet is a lot tricker. There you can about service level agreements, roles and authorization, and all of the "boring" things that do not concern the graffiti folk of the mashup world. IBM has its research-y Damia product. Others have new editors in the works, and then there are the Dappers and Kapows that straddle the fence.

Today's release of Serena Mashup Composer was discussed recently by Darryl Taft where he said:

"Deploying up to the cloud for us is a very simple thing. Basically off the menu you hit 'deploy.' And our Serena On Demand applications will run at OpSource in their data centers down in Santa Clara, [Calif]."
