The incredibly valuable people behind the scenes

System administrators are also responsible for maintaining - and if necessary implementing - the backup and recovery policy. The same applies to the updating of new versions of the operating system and application software, and the implementation of policies on the use of the computer system and network. The system administrator is also responsible for setting security policies for users and for identity management. The system administrator takes care of user accounts, permissions, access rights and storage allocation. They offer technical support and troubleshooting for hardware and software problems with servers and storage devices. The same specialist handles issues related to application and database server operations. Thorough research is conducted to support system software procurement and development efforts on products, service protocols and standards to be implemented. All tasks performed by an administrator in an organisation require a stable Internet connection, which is maintained by the system administrator. For example, work emails can only be sent and received successfully if the mail servers are working properly.

Untimely and inadequately organised maintenance and repairs can cause significant downtime or have fatal consequences. A good system administrator will ensure and guarantee that this does not happen.

• Careful network design, physical deployment, installation, commissioning
• Health assessment of existing computer equipment, software and hardware inventory
• Configuring local and internet networks, router and wifi setup
• Creating a digital office, setting up communication channels

An essential attribute of a good systems administrator is an in-depth knowledge of computer software, hardware and networks. The administrator must design, then organise, modify and support the organisation's computer systems. These professionals update and monitor everything we classify as software and hardware.

• What does a system administrator actually do?
  He is a professional who is responsible for network setup, annual maintenance of servers (mail servers and file servers) and much more. His or her responsibilities include providing a reliable working environment, in-depth knowledge of software, hardware and networks. He or she has to design, organise and modify while maintaining operating systems, business applications, security tools, web servers, emails, laptops and desktops, but in fact it's a never-ending list.
• What is system monitoring?
  It is the primary role of the system administrator. He or she will take care of setting up new accounts and active directory administration, creating access levels and user authentication frameworks. Tracks server performance, runs reports on system performance, monitors results.
• Why do I need a system administrator if I've been doing fine without one?
  The question is how much more effective would it be with him? There must have been occasions when a task was only partially solved because there was not enough capacity or a competent expert present. A system administrator also means the protection and security that is needed today. They ensure that systems are secure against breaches and viruses. System administrators play an essential role in risk mitigation planning.
