Systems Administration

System Administration consists of several main functions—maintaining the day-to-day operation of a system, troubleshooting and problem resolution, and planning and designing for future applications and growth. It includes working at the desktop level as well as the server level.

Network Administration

Network Administration consists of maintaining the health of a network's infrastructure. This includes ensuring that computing resources can communicate with each other, both locally and across the country. It encompasses several main components: the physical wiring, network protocols (TCP/IP), and network hardware (routers, switches).

Beyond the System and Network

Not all situations fit strictly within the realm of either systems or network administration, since the infrastructure itself is driven by applications. We can ensure that the system is properly configured to work with various applications. A frequent example is configuring disk space for use with databases. Databases tend to have unique read and write patterns which can be optimized based on how physical disks, disk controllers or RAID devices are configured. Additionally, you may encounter application problems which lie outside of the realm of our expertise. Because we maintain professional relationships with experts in many fields (e.g. software development, database experts), we may be able to find a specialist or coordinate with them as needed.
