an independent big picture

IBM's On Demand is a complex suite of technologies, hardware and software. IBM has put out a copious amount of documentation on each, and on how they fit together. Yet the sheer amount of this can be daunting to assimilate. Which is where this book comes in. Hoskins provides an overview that is readily understandable. Plus he appears to be independent of IBM, which gives him more leeway to make objective assessments. I'm reasonably familiar with the WebSphere, DB2 and linux that he describes. In these alone, IBM has invested massive resources. His description of these 3 squares with my knowledge of them. The overall attractiveness of On Demand is still unresolved by the book. IBM and others are promoting this utility-type computing, to only limited success thus far. You should also note that On Demand is a marketing term by IBM that seems more intuitive than autonomic computing or utility computing.
