I don't know what is going on anymore. This quote is a little scary: "IBM is stepping up its efforts to create computers that can think on their own so that humans can contemplate more important things." It's the Matrix and all other kinds of movies...
That's different though. I dunno...

Building this kind of network harkens back to the move from a telephone system operated by a person working a switchboard to one that automatically routes calls. Autonomic networks would be able to sense a company's needs for bandwidth or storage and distribute them on the fly. The computers making up this network would each have built-in abilities to recognize, isolate and recover from problems, with as little human intervention as possible.
