As any reputable IT company should, we celebrated the annual Sysadmin day today
A system administrator, commonly referred to as a sysadmin, is a crucial figure within an organization responsible for managing, maintaining, and overseeing the functionality of computer systems, servers, and networks.
Their primary role revolves around ensuring the efficient operation of an organization's IT infrastructure, including hardware, software, and related equipment. Sysadmins handle tasks such as installing and configuring software, resolving technical issues, performing system upgrades, and ensuring data security and backup protocols are in place. They are also responsible for monitoring network performance, troubleshooting any issues that arise, and implementing necessary updates or patches to optimize system performance and minimize downtime. In essence, sysadmins act as the backbone of an organization's IT ecosystem, working diligently to guarantee smooth and uninterrupted operations while safeguarding the integrity and security of critical data and systems.
Although we are, in our own way, all sysadmins here at ITbuilder (System Administrators, for the non-tech), Russ Stenson, is the Sysadmin’s sysadmin. So, for this reason, we celebrated his legendary tech skills on this special day, where IT users up and down the land should be honouring the people who keep their computers ticking over. Here is how we celebrated this afternoon:
