System Administration To The Rescue

You’ve heard the saying, “You don’t know what you have until it’s gone.” Well, we think that wisdom applies nicely to the overall value that system administrators can bring to their customers.

Let's admit it, any and all system-related incidents would be impossible to prevent or work through without the guidance of a system administrator who knows the network like the back of their hand.

Let's dive into the details on how System Administration can be crucial for your company.

What is System Administration?

System administration is the field of work in which someone manages one or more systems, be they software, hardware, servers or workstations.

The goal is ensuring the systems are running efficiently and effectively.

What is a System Administrator Responsible for?

System admins are responsible for the daily management, upkeep and configuration of computer systems of an organization or business.

This includes installing and managing desktop and laptop computers, servers, networks, IT security systems and other critical components of an organization's IT infrastructure.

A systems administrator’s responsibilities include:

• Assuring the company hardware and software are working as intended.
• Installing all the applications required to support the organization.
• Updating systems when new software is released.
• Managing user accounts and access.
  
  

SysAdmins are multi-discipline experts

The duties of a system administrator are wide-ranging, and vary widely from one organization to another.

• System administration is not just an administrative job. It's about hardware, software, user support, diagnosis, repair and prevention - including remote support while working from home.

• System administrators (also known as Sysadmins) need technical, administrative and socio-psychological skills.

• Sysadmins are usually charged with installing, supporting, and maintaining servers or other computer systems, and planning for and responding to service outages and other problems.

• Other duties may include scripting or light programming, project management for systems-related projects.

What issues do system administrators solve? 

A systems administrator is the first-point-of-contact for an organization’s users when they experience technical problems.

For example, system administrators ensure that the Internet connection in the office is working, and that the mail server is running and processing emails that are sent and received by all staff within the company or organization.

Outstanding Problem-Solvers

The most most important skill of a system administrator is problem solving. This is a fact.

Every-day problems presented to Sysadmins can lead into all kinds of constraints and stress.

For example: When workstation or server goes down, Sysadmins are called to solve the problem. Sysadmins should able to quickly and correctly diagnose the problem and must figure out what is wrong and how best it can be fixed in short amount of time.
