Greg, thanks for your detailed comment. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond.
So, if I had to boil down your response (sorry!), would it be that LLM is a mechanism that helps address the convergence of multiple disciplines that resulted as a byproduct of virtualisation? (Note I spelled it with an “s” just for you!). In other words, because server/storage/networking is all coming together—pulled together by virtualisation products—LLM has appeared as a method of helping to deal with the challenges resulting from that convergence?
