Microsoft readies autonomic computing plan
MS-Watch | at | by Mike
Redmond is beginning to lay the groundwork for self-configuration and -management of Windows-based applications. Microsoft is readying two new technologies that it says will provide the company with the same kind of self-configuration and -management capabilities that IBM has been touting for the past several years. Microsoft is branding its autonomic-computing strategy as "Dynamic Systems Initiative." The company plans to fill out the details of its strategy next week at the Microsoft Management Summit in Las Vegas.
"You need a very rapid infrastructure to bring system on line in real-time," explains Bob O'Brien, group product manager for Windows Server.
