IBM, Google Working Together


IBM Wednesday said it was linking nearly 4,000 Google Gadgets to its WebSphere portal in a move that lets users create mash-ups between enterprise and Web-based services while maintaining it all under corporate security and management controls.

IBM Portlet for Google Gadget lets users pull Google Gadgets into their network, turn them into portlets and then use them safely behind the firewall.


The use of the Gadgets, which will be provided at no cost, is supported in WebSphere Portal 6.0 and WebSphere Portal Express.


Google is supplying IBM with a set of APIs to foster the integration. A refresh mechanism ensures that the Gadgets are constantly updated.
