Principles of Network and System
Administra-tion focuses on the general principles
involved in setting up, configuring and maintaining computer
communities, and provides a conceptual overview of the
subject. A robust discipline of System
Administration is now coming of age and both academics
and industry recognize the need to formalize the problems
which system administra-tors tackle. Amongst these challenges
are the need to design a network which is logical, efficient,
easy to upgrade and secure. The system administrator also
needs to keep track of the ever increasing amount of
information, to ensure that problems are fixed quickly, and
provide a comfortable environment for users. The breadth and
complexity involved in adopting and integrating ever more
sophisticated technology is covered in this greatly expanded
new edition.
Whilst providing practical illustrations of
technical specifics through examples,
Burgess steers away from the overwhelming
details of specific operating systems. Trainee administrators
and students alike need to understand a wealth of issues
relating to heterogeneous environments before understanding
the quirks of any one particular system. Moreover this book
teaches good practice for working in a global community of
networked machines and organizations which extends beyond
being technically savvy to being professionally and ethically
responsible. Features: - Broad
coverage of Linux and other
Unix versions,
Windows, Macs and mainframes. - Practical -
supplemented with reference section containing practical
recipes and advice. - Vendor/Platform independent view of the
technical, theoretical, practical and social/ethical aspects
to Systems Administration - Strong
pedagogy - end of chapter exercises plus teaching guide
