Server Administration
Cross-platform server administration covering capacity, access, services, and day-to-day ops discipline.
Server administration is the connective tissue of reliable IT. We establish or take over admin practices across Linux and Windows hosts—inventory, access, patching, service ownership, and change habits—so production machines are operated deliberately rather than rescued reactively.
