On-Demand Ecommerce Options

looking for examples

I was reading the Internet Retailer magazines, and there was a long discussion about "on-demand ecommerce."

Could someone please list about five of the largest on-demand options? I'm having trouble grasping the idea of what this niche is like.

Small to Medium Size Business.

Thank you

Are hosted carts all "on-demand"? I'm confused.

By on-demand, I believe they mean any ecommerce company that provides their software as a service.

And how long before: On-Demand Ecommerce 2.0?

The term is new to me too. Here's a nice description:

True on-demand must include a grid architecture that delivers capacity when a retailer needs it. This function automatically provisions additional server capacity as needed to handle increased traffic loads, all the while maintaining seamless, optimal performance . Also, retailers no longer have to anticipate peak traffic volumes and always carry the associated costs of maximum capacity.
