Self-managing systems make much sense

Posted Sep 27, 2002 19:45 UTC (Fri) by wiresoft (guest, #4753) [Link]

Wanted to point out that without "self-managing" systems like Wiresoft has developed, the world will be a crummy place to compute in a few years. Read a study from IBM that says there will be over 1 Billion systems that will need over 200 Million admins in less than a decade. There is no possible way we will train that many people in time. There are currently around 20 million admins in the world today.
