The IT Server Management course is an established field, but one that continues to evolve significantly in recent years. The IT course for Linux is highly comprehensive and practical, aimed at career development in the field of infrastructure management and Linux server administration, with specialization in open-source methodologies.
Linux is the world's most popular operating system and is widely used in the IT industry. Many companies, large corporations, internet providers, governments, and more utilize Linux for a wide range of purposes, such as:
Operating data servers, Telephony systems, Firewalls, Communication hubs, Embedded system development, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and more.
The reason for the popularity of the Linux operating system stems from several key advantages it possesses, for example:
There are significant advantages for an organization when it maintains its own infrastructure. Self-managing server administration can lead to ongoing and efficient work, depending on the organization's size and nature of activities.
Security and safeguarding the confidentiality of personal and business information, problem-solving, server and resource management, configuration, log management and tracking, rapid recovery protocols when needed, and more.
Due to these numerous benefits, many companies choose to internally manage their infrastructure and be exclusively responsible for this operation. This fact results in a high demand for Linux server management professionals with practical and professional experience in the field, who are interested in further specialization and professional development within the organization.
Today, there are immense amounts of data on the network, and companies are dealing with larger quantities of data than ever before. Additionally, tasks and technological advancements lead to much greater activity.
Intensive work with servers in the form of methodologies such as DevOps, artificial intelligence development, data science, etc.
Currently, working as IT professionals, server administrators, for a variety of companies, involves being responsible for server maintenance, ongoing activities, configurations, permission management, security testing, and more. Some companies provide hosting services, while others choose to manage the entire operation internally.
