MS, Sun and Google offering alternative to IBM's autonomic computing

16 Dec 2005

The BBC is reporting that Microsoft, Sun and Google are to fund a lab to research how to make systems management simpler. Sounds a lot like IBM's autonomic computing strategy, but with a greater focus on software than hardware. However, barring one or two interesting spin-offs, I don't see this as anything more exciting than a well-funded recruitment fair.
