Sys Admins: The Foundation for Systems Management

Topics in this article

Systems administrators are the driving force that empowers the technology we use on a daily basis to keep organizations running and productive. Whether it’s migrating to a new operating system such as Windows 7, ensuring compliance of IT systems or managing the service desk, systems management is the cornerstone and systems administrators are the foundation.

In celebration of SysAdmin Appreciation Day on July 27th, Dell KACE is launching a social event in which we’re encouraging systems administrators to share their stories for a daily chance to win a $500 Amazon.com gift card or $25 ThinkGeek gift card beginning July 24th through July 27th.

As part of the Dell Software Group, we are dedicated to providing the right mix of software solutions that are focused on empowering organizations to effectively grow their businesses and remain competitive. By delivering software solutions like KACE, SecureWorks, SonicWALL and Boomi, Dell gives systems administrators the ability to focus on emerging technology trends as opposed to fighting fires.

Most importantly, it’s important that we all take a moment to recognize that without the right people to implement, maintain, connect and secure these solutions, organizations would not be able to effectively navigate the ever-changing technology landscape.

So take a moment this week to thank your systems administrator and encourage them to participate in this great social campaign!
