Common Certifications for a Network Administrator
Network5 Certification
Provided by the EC-Council, the Network5 is considered a staple of any professional attempting to get into systems-based work. It’s an entry-level certification that surrounds the basics of network construction, troubleshooting, and design, giving both network and systems workers the base-level knowledge needed to perform any task. Because the Network Admin works directly with a company’s networks (duh), they are required to have all base-level certifications as such.
Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA)
The CCNA, provided by the technology juggernaut, Cisco, is considered a staple certification for all network specialists. Overall, the certification requires an entry-level course and test, proving abilities in Network access, IP connectivity, IP services, security, automation, and programmability. Therefore, it shows all the basic abilities that the network administrator needs to complete their work.
Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE)
The MCSE, provided and tested by Microsoft, shows that the candidate is an expert in all data systems surrounding the technical juggernaut. Windows servers, like all Windows products, are a mainstay and pillar of the technical community. A significant amount of Network Admin roles will require working with Microsoft products, making the certification invaluable. It’s similar to the aforementioned Network5 in that it involves the basics of systems management, virtualization, storage, and networking. The difference is the specialization in Microsoft itself.
Parallel Jobs and Career Paths
Sysadmins are responsible for installation, configuration, maintenance, and upkeep of an organization’s servers.
They configure the enterprise servers and maintain the operating system life cycles. This includes active directory domains, group policies, print servers, VMware, email, single sign-on, and a variety of other services. The primary responsibility of the Sysadmin is to ensure services are available to users on the network.
NOC Technicians monitor the organization’s IT infrastructure 24/7. For example, they have monitoring tools that alert them if anything diverts from the norm. Afterward, the NOC Technician follows a set protocol to notify the responsible IT departments. The primary goal of the NOC technician is to proactively identify incidents and address them before they become problems.
Overall, the Infrastructure Software Engineer is a similar practice to a normal Software Engineer. Henceforth, the difference in roles comes down to the part of the software they develop. While Software Engineers use their expertise to create functioning applications, the Infrastructure Software Engineer comes first, creating the tools and basis upon the software to be built upon.
Furthermore, the Engineer will work with the software development team to decide what tools and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) will be necessary and efficient for the project. Then, the Infrastructure team gets to work building the foundation of the product.
