The iSeries, IBM says, is ideal for handling on-demand needs. How so? We looked at the four strategies in its on-demand initiative -- integration, open standards, virtualization and autonomic -- to see how the iSeries fares.

Poll results: What percentage of your shop's technology would you say is autonomic or self-healing?

>>	IBM gives iSeries power boost, attempts to expand user base TIP :IBM has made significant changes to the iSeries server that could revolutionize the platform.
>>	When managing database environments, integration is key TIP :When managing complex database environments, IT vendors and buyers agree on the three top priorities.
>>	XML helps standardize information for sharing TIP :XML can simplify doing business online, but make sure it's appropriate for your situation before you start converting.
>>	Finding utilitarian uses for utility computing TIP :Pay-as-you-go approaches have been tried before. Will utility computing finally make the dream a reality?
>>	Cummins powers up backup architecture: Capacity-on-demand model saves thousands TIP :Electrical company Cummins got what it needed -- and not a megabyte more -- to light up its storage and reign in spending.

We're ramping up for implementation now. No. We're not interested in changing our infrastructure. No. We probably won't consider it for sometime.
