The SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS

I have created this blog site for all my friends who are system administrators. I know that the system administrators are tasked with critical reponsibilities of keeping the system up without downtime.

I have the privilege of meeting these gurus on SOLARIS, HP-UX, AIX, LINUX, WINDOWS, DATA Ontap during the rendition of my work as a computer engineer.

This blog site was created as a communication media between friends and system administrators.

I look up on these guys who are maintaining our system for 24 hours by 7 weeks by 365 days.

In case you have some free time please do drop by this site and leave some comments.
