Unix/Linux System Administration
Systems administrators are the information technology employees responsible for the efficient use of networks by organisations. They ensure that the design of an organisation’s computer site allows all of the components, including computers, the network, and software, to fit together and work properly. Furthermore, they monitor and adjust the performance of existing networks and continually survey the current computer site to determine future network needs. Administrators also troubleshoot problems reported by users and by automated monitoring systems and make recommendations for enhancements in the implementation of future servers and networks.
