I worked in networking for the longest time. When I started there network guys and server guys (at least where I was). They were different people who did different things who kinda worked together.
Then there were storage area networks and similar, networks really FOR the server and storage guys.... that kind of extended the server world over some of the network.
Then comes VMware and such things and now there was a network in a box somewhere that was entirely the server guy's deal (well except when we had to help them... always).
Then we also had load balances who in their own way were a sort of code for networks ... depending on how you looked at it (open ticket #11111 of 'please stop hard coding ip addresses').
You also had a lot of software defined networking type things and so forth brewing up in dozens of different ways.
Granted these descriptions are not exact, there were ebs and flows and some tech that sort of did this (or tired) all along. It all starts to evolve slowly into one entity.
