This training is ideal for:

• System Administrators
• Server Support Technicians
• Network Administrators
• Data Center Technicians
• IT Professionals aiming to specialize in server management
• Anyone looking to validate their server administration skills and boost their career in infrastructure roles.

While not mandatory, it is recommended that participants have a CompTIA A+ certification or equivalent foundational IT knowledge, along with at least two years of hands-on experience in a server environment to get the most from this training

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Set up physical server hardware, configure storage systems, and carry out routine hardware maintenance to ensure efficient server installation and management.
• Administer server operating systems, manage network services, enable high availability, and leverage virtualization technologies for optimized server operations.
• Implement server hardening practices, enforce data security protocols, and design disaster recovery and backup plans to strengthen security and resilience.
• Identify and troubleshoot problems across hardware, software, network connectivity, storage, and security to maintain smooth server performance.
• Utilize scripting basics and automation techniques to streamline server tasks and improve operational efficiency.
• Manage asset documentation, lifecycle processes, and secure storage to ensure compliance and effective server resource management.
