Do you find out about problems when your users call you to complain? Does your corporate “Change Review Board” terrify you? Does each division of your company have their own broken way of doing things? Do you fear that automation will replace you, or break more than it fixes? Are you underpaid and overworked? No vague “management speak” or empty platitudes. This comprehensive guide provides real solutions that prevent these problems and more!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Market_Desc: · Students and novice system administrators· Professional network and systems administrators Special Features: · Coverage of both network and system administration from the perspective of the underlying principles that do not change on a day-to-day basis· Shows how to discover customer needs and then use that information to identify, interpret, and evaluate system and network requirements· Fully updated to cover new technologies including Java Services and Ipv6 and both Unix and Windows systems· Extended coverage of security including ISO 17799 About The Book: Burgess approaches both network and system administration from the perspective of principles and ideas which do not change on a day-to-day basis.A great deal of attention is paid to the heuristics of system and network administration; technical and sociological issues are taken into account equally and are presented thoughtfully with an eye to teaching not what to do as a system or network administrator, but how to think about problems that arise in practice. As a result, the author keeps the reader looking forward to what comes next and how to implement what he or she has learned.The focus is on strategic issues, how to keep systems maintainable and how to manage configuration files across an enterprise. During the 80s and most of the 90s the frontiers of system administration were about understanding what the job entailed and building tools in order to manage networks more efficiently. The next phase is about standardization of management and practice, making system administration more formal and less ad hoc, and Burgess' book is one of the first to begin to push into this area.Whilst there are multitudes of ways to become a systems administrator, many employers prefer to hire people with some formal college education. Certification and practical experience demonstrating these skills will be essential for applicants without a degree. Systems administrators must keep their skills current and acquire new ones.
