I believe we are moving toward outsourcing of infrastructure vis a vis IaaS clouds including outsourced private clouds. There are larger roles available in cloud utility providers. At the same time, internal organizations will need to strengthen their architect/outsourcing manager roles.
The new skills include more knowledge of various virtualization technologies, knowledge of APIs of specific clouds, negotiation skills with cloud providers, x-cloud architects, heterogenous infrastructure application/systems management knowledge and skills, new disaster recovery architects, and more specific consulting skills aligned with cloud independent managed service providers.
There is a bold new world that is rapidly evolving for data center professionals. The biggest concern might be being left behind.
