Network System Administrator
Considering becoming a network system administrator? A computer network administrator is responsible for the smooth, efficient, and secure operation of computer networks. While some administrators create networks from scratch, that's not in the network administrator job description. In general, these IT professionals configure and administer existing networks rather than designing them from the ground up. Typical duties include customizing the network to match an organization's needs such as by adding software and hardware, monitoring performance, troubleshooting crashes, logging errors, backing up and restoring data, adding users, assigning permissions, updating security systems, updating operating systems, and helping users with network issues.
Depending on the individual's skills and the organization's needs, a computer network administrator may also serve as the administrator of the company's primary operating systems. For example, if the organization runs Windows 7, the administrator may serve as a Microsoft Windows 7 system administrator as well. Similarly, this same person could also serve as the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 / 2010 administrator with the right skills and expertise. In fact, many IT professionals pursue several related certifications, enabling them to serve in many capacities. Career computer training from CBT Planet can help you prepare for these roles. Whether you're interested in becoming a network system administrator or want to become even more valuable by adding new skills, CBT Planet offers complete IT training solutions.
Career paths for a computer network administrator can include moves into positions of greater responsibility, including management roles and other leadership positions. While salaries for such positions varies, an experienced network administrator often earn $50,000 per year or more.
