Global Knowledge

SysAdmins, also known as SysAdmins, are the “installation specialists”, “configure specialists” and “fixers” of IT. If you’ve ever seen Pulp Fiction, SysAdmins will remind you of Winston Wolfe. Their job is to solve problems.
SysAdmins must have a broad IT skill base. They need to be able troubleshoot, fix and maintain problems. They must also be able to install and configure operating systems, set up virtual machines, and configure security and users. They are often required for file retrieval, updating software, password resets, and network security. They should also be skilled in disaster recovery and high availability. They should be experts on storage, cybersecurity, automation, and other related areas.
