Summary

Installs, configures, maintains, and secures server, storage, and infrastructure components across on-premises, virtualized, and hybrid-cloud environments. Distinct from Network Administration (focused on routers/switches/firewalls and connectivity) and End-User/Help Desk Support (focused on desktop and user-facing incident resolution): this focus owns the reliable operation, automation, patching, backup/recovery, and continuous improvement of operating systems, directory services, virtualization platforms, and the infrastructure that hosts enterprise applications.
