Another area to consider would be capacity planning in the distributed environment. With the proliferation of servers many companies are trying to figure out how to reduce that. If you have any experience in the field in the mainframe environment it would be transferable to the distributed environment.

I am, as are many of us, spoiled by the 'set it and forget it' way of the mainframe where you can set up a process and it's still working 3 decades later (recently had to review one of these!).
