Employing post-virtualization infrastructure, such as hyperconverged infrastructure, will eliminate the physical silos and be disruptive to traditional IT roles. In this new world, administrators will need to embrace new skills and get comfortable shedding the mundane and repetitive tasks, such as provisioning storage.
