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.

this is completely random. what's the relation here?

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.

Not a direct answer but Intel is making plays into quite a few extra markets nowadays, HTML5 being a striking one. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if we see Intel try and make a big play for the developer tools market long term with an acquisition of someone like GitHub or Atlassian some way down the road.

Intel has acquired HTML5 tools from AppMobi http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/21/in-a-play-for-more-html5-mu...

This enables them to have a service like PhoneGap build.

What about an HTML5 coprocessor?

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

Now someone can acquire the http://apiary.io

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

Rock on Clay.

Another one bites the dust :(

Huh?
