Andy Banta, Storage Janitor at NetApp, discusses the death of the dedicated storage admins. Andy sees them going the way of the database and server admins, as data centers are increasing looking for admins with broad skill sets, with depth in one particular field. Andy reviews the business benefits of this transition, and how policy based management and automation are able to achieve delivery of self-service storage. 

Recorded at a Storage Field Day, in Denver on June 14, 2017. For more information, please visit NetApp.com/ or TechFieldDay.com/event/sfd13/
